[SKStoreReviewController requestReviewInScene:] no longer displays the review prompt in debug/development builds on iOS 26.5 beta (23F5043k and 23F5043g). According to Apple's documentation, the review prompt should always appear in debug builds to facilitate testing. This was working in previous iOS versions (iOS 26.4 and older).

Steps to reproduce:

Run app from Xcode in debug configuration on a device running iOS 26.5 beta (23F5043k or 23F5043g)
Call [SKStoreReviewController requestReviewInScene:windowScene] with a valid, foreground-active UIWindowScene
Observe that the method executes without error (scene is valid per NSLog) but no review prompt appears

Expected: Review prompt should display in debug builds

Actual: No prompt appears, despite the scene being valid and foreground-active

This worked correctly on previous iOS versions (26.4) so looks like this bug was introduced in 26.5 Beta versions.
