Voice over's behaviour on real device different than Accessibility Inspector's voice over

Voice over is working fine for an ios app on real device but accessibility inspector is reporting a loop and it is not able to access all the elements. Any potential reasons for this? Also how does both implementations differ?

Am no expert: Is it likely the Accessibility Inspector may help troubleshoot the actual Xcode ? ...

seems it can be used for working on and testing apps before they are then tested using Voice Control app.

Eg: Developer documentattion: Supporting VoiceOver in your app | Apple Developer Documentation

and

Performing accessibility testing for your app | Apple Developer Documentation

Eg: says:

"Take notes about any issues as you discover them so you can address them in your app’s design and implementation. If you encounter accessibility issues that you aren’t able to troubleshoot while testing on the device, try using Accessibility Inspector to help diagnose and resolve issues. You can also automate accessibility testing by adding accessibility audits in your UI tests, as described in Perform accessibility audits for your app."

Seems, (and especially if you do not receive the reply you look for, from your post to this Apple (user-to-user) community) your question may be better placed in the Apple developer community Apple Developer Forums
