iOS 27b3 SDK: iOS App on Mac crashes on UISearchBar focus

Our app crashes when compiled with the iOS 27 beta 3 SDK and run as an iOS app on Mac, on both macOS 26 and macOS 27, as soon as a UISearchBar receives focus.

The crash is due to this exception:

*** Assertion failure in BOOL _screenBasedFocusUnsupported(void)(), UIScreen.m:3.725
Accessing the focus system through UIScreen is no longer supported.

I could not test with the iOS 27 beta 4 SDK due to this blocking issue: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/839012

However, when I tried to set up a simple sample project, I could not reproduce the issue.

Does anybody know what might be causing this?
