Can't tap Return on iOS keyboard due to visibility check

What happened?

Attempt to tap the Return button on the iOS keyboard with:

await element(by.label('return')).tap();

fails with:

View is not hittable at its visible point. Error: Failed to interact with the screen at point: {639, 361}.

The following works fine:

await element(by.label('return')).tap({ x: 20, y: 20 });

The attributes of the element are:

{
  visible: true,
  hittable: true,
  enabled: true,
  className: 'UIAccessibilityElementKBKey',
  label: 'return',
  isAccessibilityElement: true,
  elementSafeBounds: { y: 169, x: 295, width: 98, height: 46 },
  frame: { y: 730, x: 295, width: 98, height: 46 },
  identifier: 'Return',
  activationPoint: { x: 344, y: 192 },
  normalizedActivationPoint: { x: 0.5, y: 0.5 }
}

What was the expected behaviour?

No response

Was it tested on latest Detox?

[X] I have tested this issue on the latest Detox release and it still reproduces.

Did your test throw out a timeout?

[ ] I have followed the instructions under Identifying which synchronization mechanism causes us to wait too much.

Help us reproduce this issue!

Try to tap Return on iOS keyboard on iPhone 15 (iOS 17.5).
