[bug] Connection problem with mobile wallets on mobile browser

Summary

Hello, I'm using reown in my app and realized sometimes mobile wallets become unresponsive while trying to connect using mobile browser. Tried to reproduce the issue on reown's example and seems like issue persist there too.

Issue seems like triggered by mobile metamask and puts connect wallet into a bad state where anymore connection is not possible. What i could observe is that mobile metamask connect dialogue disappears without an user interaction and anymore connection is not possible. I can confirm same issue happens trying to connect via reown's telegram mini app example as well: https://t.me/appkit_test_ggr_bot

I did not observe similar behavior besides mobile browsers and telegram mini app. Leaving below a screen capture to help debugging the issue.

@burakeserol Are you still able to reproduce the issue ? Seems like it doesn't happen anymore

@magiziz It seems like issue with the mobile metamask still exists, but it does not block upcoming connect binance wallet requests anymore. What i can observe is that mobile metamask connect dialogue disappears without a user interaction on second connect attempt. You can see the issue at 0:46 and 1:30 in the attached screen recording.

@burakeserol It seems like if you connect to metamask -> disconnect -> connect to binance wallet -> disconnect -> connect to metamask again it has a bit delay so i would suggest connecting again. Since it's not a breaking change and is a very edge case i hope this won't block you right ?

Closing this issue for now since not able to reproduce it. Please let me know the issue persists or gets worsen.
