Describe the bug

if you try to type inside of an app in livecontainer multitask mode, it doesn't work when using iPhone mirroring, although it works in regular mode (not multitasking), and it works fine in the livecontainer search bar. i've attached a screen recording showing the issue at the following iCloud link (github always gives me an error when i try to upload videos) https://www.icloud.com/iclouddrive/09fUVGKy4jyD7tHabVh7-4wZw#Screen_Recording_2025-08-26_at_6.56

Instructions to reproduce

1: connect to your iPhone with iPhone mirroring
2: open any app within livecontainer in multitask mode that has somewhere you can type in
3: select a text box and attempt to type something with your mac's keyboard and it will not show up

What version of LiveContainer and iOS are you using?

livecontainer version: 3.6.1-release (main/a75c064), iOS version 26.0 developer beta 8 (23A5330a)

Other info

the only workaround i found is simply not using multitasking mode, and launching it the normal way
