This pull request resolves the test failure that occurred in this PR #33622 when enabling the UI test for iOS 26. This PR updates the handling of virtual keyboard dismissal and improves back arrow query logic for iOS in the Appium test utilities. The main changes enhance reliability when interacting with the iOS keyboard and add support for identifying the correct back button based on the iOS version.

Enables lane for testing uitests on iOS26

iOS Keyboard Interaction Improvements:

In iOS 26, HideKeyboard does not tap the return key because the return key string changed from “return” to an arrow button in iOS 26, so the keyboard does not close, which causes the test to fail. The method for dismissing the keyboard now explicitly locates and clicks the “Return” button within the keyboard UI instead of using the generic HideKeyboard command, which increases reliability.

iOS Back Arrow Query Logic:

In iOS 26, the back arrow ID changed to BackButton, so Appium does not find the back arrow. For iOS, the logic now checks the platform version iOS 26 or lower. For iOS 26 and higer versions it uses the accessibility ID "BackButton" and for lower versions it uses accessibility ID "Back". This ensures compatibility with UI changes across iOS versions.
