ios16 content blocker is preventing our website from accessing external APIs

We recently were made aware that users of ios16 are having problems with our web application related to accessing external APIs (Google maps and Pendo).

This happens on all browsers. When checking dev tools on Safari we are seeing "Content blocker prevented frame displaying...", And then "Resource blocked by content blocker... " XMLHTTPRequest cannot load due to access control checks.

When Safari > Location is set to "Allow", it works. When "Ask", it asks, but then blocks it anyway.

Is this something we can fix on our end? If so, how? Or is it a bug with "Ask" that's making it reject the request?

This is extra problematic because none of our developers have Macs; and the application has no problems on Windows, MacOS, Android, or iOS prior to 16. So we can't reproduce the issue locally to try to fix it.
