New apple pay in PC chrome dosn't work with iOS 18

I've encountered an issue with Apple Pay in PC Chrome with iOS 18. Below is the scenario and code for reference:

Issue Scenario:

1. A button is clicked to initiate the Apple Pay process.
2. A QR code window pops up, which I scan with my phone.
3. As soon as the session is established, the window closes immediately, not allowing the user to select a payment card.
4. No errors appear in the console.

Here's the code snippet for handling the Apple Pay button click:

const onApplePayButtonClicked = () => {
  if (!window.ApplePaySession) {
    return;
  }
 
  log('Apple Pay button clicked');
 
  const request = {
    countryCode: 'UA',
    currencyCode: 'UAH',
    merchantCapabilities: ['supports3DS'],
    supportedNetworks: ['visa', 'masterCard'],
    total: {
      label: 'PoC Merchant Apple Pay',
      type: 'final',
      amount: amount.toString(),
    },
  };
 
  const session = new window.ApplePaySession(3, request);
 
  session.onvalidatemerchant = async (event) => {
    try {
      log('Creating ApplePaySession');
      const response = await fetchAppleSessionAPI(event.validationURL, applePayMercantId, { deviceId, refreshToken });
      log('validateMerchantResponse', response);
 
      session.completeMerchantValidation(response.applePaySessionData);
    } catch (error) {
      log('validateMerchantError', error);
    }
  };
 
  session.onshippingmethodselected = () => {
    const newTotal = {
      label: 'PoC Merchant Apple Pay',
      type: 'final',
      amount: amount.toString(),
    };
    session.completeShippingMethodSelection(window.ApplePaySession.STATUS_SUCCESS, {}, newTotal);
  };
 
  session.onpaymentauthorized = async (event) => {
    log('onpaymentauthorized', event);
 
    const result = {
      status: window.ApplePaySession.STATUS_SUCCESS,
    };
    session.completePayment(result);
    log('TOKEN', event.payment.token);
  };
 
  session.begin();
};

Troubleshooting Steps Taken:

• Verified that window.ApplePaySession is available.
• Checked for any console errors—none found.
• Confirmed that the QR code scanning and session initiation work as expected.

Expected Behavior:

• After scanning the QR code and establishing the session, the user should be able to select a payment card and proceed with the payment flow.

Current Behavior:

• The window closes immediately after the session is established, preventing card selection.

Has anyone else faced this issue or has insights on how to resolve it?

Thanks in advance!
