I'm not sure, if it's the same problem or not, but I also faced problems with failing swipes in UI tests (in iOS simulator): at least in certain cases (like swipeLeft() to reveal the standard "accessory menu" on a table row), they behave like clicks. I was able to pinpoint it to running x86_64 build of UI tests on M1 (adding ARCHS=x86_64 to xcodebuild arguments). With the very same native build on M1, swipes in UI tests behave as expected.
Just in case, I'm reproducing it on Xcode 13.4.1 and iOS simulator for iPhone 8 running iOS 15.2. Will check most recent iOS 15.5 a bit later.
