Interacting with AlertView has an issue on iOS 15.2 Simulators and Xcode-13.2.beta (It worked on real devices)

The problem

auto accept alert on iOS doesn’t work

NOTE: the reason that I’ve tried Xcode-13.2.beta and iOS 15.2 is here: https://github.com/appium/appium/issues/15714

Environment

• Appium version (or git revision) that exhibits the issue: 1.22.0 (I’ve also tried with latest beta 1.23.0-beta.0)
• Last Appium version that did not exhibit the issue (if applicable):
• Desktop OS/version used to run Appium: macOS Big Sur 11.6
• Node.js version (unless using Appium.app|exe): v16.13.0
• Npm or Yarn package manager: 0.37.2
• Mobile platform/version under test: iOS 15.2
• Real device or emulator/simulator: iPhone 8 simulator
• Appium CLI or Appium.app|exe: 1.22.0 and Ruby client is appium_lib 11.2.0

Details

There is a modal dialog shown on a fresh app installation which is prompting to Allow Sending Notifications… I’ve to accept popup in order to unblock test flow. In version of Xcode-12.5.1 and iOS 14.5 it was working.
