By now, IOS Safari does not allow this. Clearly, this does not work in IOS Safari by design.

Even the code in the duplicate does not help with the real answer to the problem. The user must first interact with the page before focus() can actually work.

There is no way to actually overcome the rule of focus() in Safari other than redeveloping the function itself which is unbelievably hard to do.
