ActionSheet close automatically (iOS 18 Simulator) with autoAcceptAlerts :true as iOS 18 started returning correct XCUIElementTypeSheet

Do I have the most recent component updates?

• I use the most recent available driver/plugin and server versions

Is the component officially supported by the Appium team?

• I have verified the component repository is present under the Appium organization in GitHub

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

When working with the iOS 18 simulator, ActionSheets started closing on their own. It's a bit like if various permission alerts were automatically confirmed. The project has a parameter to automatically react to such alerts, but it didn't affect the ActionSheet on the 17.5 simulator.

appium 2.11.4 .net client Appium 5.2.0

example of ActionSheet: log in the moment of closing in gist (not so informative)

This can be reproduced with Appium inspector and autoAcceptAlerts :true with ActionSheet closes / without it everything ok

Expected Behavior

autoAcceptAlerts :true has no effect on ActionSheet
