Description
Using VoiceOver on iOS is not possible to select options. Issue #5190 already pointed out that is not possible to select an option with the canonical double tab. However users could still rely on a the workaround suggested in that comment. In release 5.8.0 it is not even possible to scroll through the options because the listbox closes after the first slide forward.
To reproduce the issue open https://2qmg83.csb.app/ using Safari on iOS with VoiceOver.
- Open the select double tapping on it.
- Swipe forward (from right to left)
I expect the focus moves to the first option, instead the listbox closes.
The URL to reproduce the issue is generated from the CodeSandbox used in the react-select.com homepegage.

Research direction
Reproduce the behavior using the linked CodeSandbox in Safari on iOS with VoiceOver, following the two listed steps, and review issue #5190 and the changes around release 5.8.0. Done means swiping forward moves focus to the first option while the listbox remains open so options can be selected.
