Alert text becomes wrong on mobile Safari of iOS 14

See original GitHub issue

The problem

I tried to assert alert text on mobile Safari, but the text returned from Appium was different from what was actually displayed.

Environment

Appium version (or git revision) that exhibits the issue: 1.22.1
Last Appium version that did not exhibit the issue (if applicable):
Desktop OS/version used to run Appium: macOS 11.6.1
Node.js version (unless using Appium.app|exe): 12.13.1
Npm or Yarn package manager: npm
Mobile platform/version under test: iOS 14 (FYI, the problem didn’t happen on iOS 13 or iOS 15)
Real device or emulator/simulator: Real device (iPhone 12)
Appium CLI or Appium.app|exe: CLI

Details

Our test goes like this:

Navigate to https://the-internet.herokuapp.com/javascript_alerts
Click Click for JS Alert button
Assert the alert text is I am a JS Alert

But the last step failed because Appium returns alert message as I am a JS Alert\nI am a JS Alert.

The problem doesn’t happen on iOS 13 or iOS 15.
Accepting the alert works well even on iOS 14.

I guess your case is OS version or model specific one for now…

Oh, thanks. Then I’m going to close this issue. Thank you so much for your quick answer!
