How can users dismiss the iOS 18 second-stage Contacts permission prompt?

In iOS 18, requesting Contacts access via CNContactStore.requestAccess(for:) triggers a two-stage authorization flow:

  1. First stage: the standard "Allow / Don't Allow" alert

  2. Second stage: a sheet titled "How do you want to share contacts?" with two options — "Select Contacts" and "Share All [N] Contacts"

My question is about the second-stage sheet specifically. It does not appear to have a Cancel or Close button, and swipe-down to dismiss does not work on the devices I've tested (iOS 18.x).

If a user reaches this second prompt and decides they don't want to choose either option, how are they expected to dismiss it? Is this intentional behavior?
