Picking image in iOS-first app when running it on macOS 26

An app that is capable of running on iPad can be usually run on Mac if properly designed and that's great. Recently I've tried to launch one of my old apps on macOS 26 in "Designed for iPad" mode and noticed that image picker behaves oddly. Images are barely selectable, you have to click several times and yet it might select image and might not. On iPhone and on iPad any kind of image picking works fine. I've tried all kinds of native pickers (PhotosPicker, PHPickerViewController, UIImagePickerController), but the result is almost the same.

So how should I nowadays do image picking in (mostly) iOS app when it is run on macOS?

Below is the most canonical and modern code I've tried. The issue is reproduced even with such bare minimum of code with the label not being put to a Form/List or any other factors.

import SwiftUI
import PhotosUI

struct ContentView: View {
    @State private var selectedItem: PhotosPickerItem?
    @State private var selectedImage: UIImage?
    
    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            if let selectedImage {
                Image(uiImage: selectedImage)
                    .resizable()
                    .scaledToFit()
            }
            
            // Most modern photo library picker, not `PHPickerViewController`, not `UIImagePickerController` based pickerPhotosPicker(
                selection: $selectedItem,
                matching: .images
            ) {
                Label("Select Photo", systemImage: "photo")
            }
            .onChange(of: selectedItem) { newItem inTask {
                    if let data = try? await newItem?.loadTransferable(type: Data.self),
                       let uiImage = UIImage(data: data) {
                        selectedImage = uiImage
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
