App locks up if UIAlertView appears after set_location is called

[vocaro]

Calling the Calabash API method set_location, and then displaying a UIAlertView in the app under test, causes the app to freeze. (Tapping the button to dismiss the alert view does nothing.)

To reproduce in Calabash 0.9.126 with calabash-ios-example:

1. Add a button handler to LPFirstViewController:

   - (IBAction)login:(id)sender {
      UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:nil
                                                      message:@"this is an alert"
                                                     delegate:nil
                                            cancelButtonTitle:@"OK"
                                            otherButtonTitles:nil];
      [alert show];
   }

2. Link the Login button's Touch Up Inside to the handler.
3. Launch the app.
4. Launch the Calabash console and do: set_location(latitude: -17.884659, longitude: -5.099488). Any parameters should work here.
5. Wait a few moments.
6. Tap Login.

At this point, you should see the alert view, but clicking on it does nothing.

Fixed (workaround) with 0.9.150 - use uia_set_location: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/calabash-ios/xmapoKqTIBc/gFQeRKltZyIJ
