Is there a SwiftUI equivalent of UIKit's UIAccessibilityPostNotification with .announcement?

I have a SwiftUI screen with a TextField acting as a search input, and a List of matching results for the current text field content below it. The process of obtaining matching results for the term entered in the text field is asynchronous (goes over a network). How can I alert VoiceOver users when the list updates? I don't really want to programmatically shift their focus, I'd normally post a suitable accessibility notification in UIKit for this.

Yes, these are different design paradigms see the focus example for when there is a change in data and how this is used to trigger a UI element focus under accessibility. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/creating_accessible_views/
