Requesting changes to make sure we don't ship this one without a thorough review of the App Store rules first.
Based on our internal conversation: Apple are likely to block apps identifying the iOS version since pulling the version from their default UA was intentional in the release of iOS 26.

Stack Context
This PR updates the Swift Checkout Kit user-agent suffix so checkout WebView traffic and Accelerated Checkouts GraphQL traffic include the actual runtime iOS version.
What?
iOSVersion/<UIDevice.current.systemVersion>token to the existingShopifyCheckoutKit/... (iOS;Swift ...)metadata suffix.UserAgentTestsexpected strings to include the dynamic runtime iOS version.Why?
WebKit/Safari can report a frozen built-in iOS user-agent value such as
18_7, which makes iOS 26 traffic difficult to distinguish. Checkout Kit already appends a custom user-agent suffix through the sharedUserAgent.string(...)path, so adding a stable machine-readable token there gives observability the actual runtime iOS version without changing public API.Validation
