Picking an image from the gallery does not work in iOS 26

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues and didn't find mine.

Steps to reproduce

Picking an image from the gallery stopped working in iOS 26 on iPad simulators. This was already reported here https://github.com/mobile-dev-inc/Maestro/discussions/2813.

• Reproduction: navigate to the image chooser on an iPad simulator
• Open maestro studio (old version, in-browser).
• It just shows one big clickable area:

Since this problem is not only in the old Maestro Studio, but also in my actual tests, I assume it has nothing to do with me still using the old Studio.

Actual results

There's no way to choose an image via Maestro.

Expected results

There should be a way to choose an image. There is one on the iPhone, and there was one on the iPad prior to iOS 26.

About app

Problem is readily reproducible with maestro studio, no app needed.

Anything else?

No response

Start with the image-selection recipe linked in the issue and reproduce the problem using the iPad simulator and maestro studio. Trace the image chooser behavior in the related Maestro implementation, using discussion #2813 for context. Done means an image can be selected on iPad simulators running iOS 26, while the existing iPhone flow continues to work.
