Description

When initializing the Entry control with TextColor as "red" and then updating the Text property from code behind in .NET MAUI on the iOS and MacCatalyst platforms, the text color is not updated initially.

Note: Once I clear the text and start re-entering or updating it from the code behind, it works fine.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Run the attached sample
2. Click the Button
3. The text will updated but the text color remains "black".

Expected Behavior The text will updated with "red" text color

Given that this bug breaks any production application deployed to MacOs with .Net 8..... when can we expect a fix?

Sadly it's apparently Not fixed yet as there are multiple failed checks for #20100? Hopefully as a regression this will get some attention as when the data is .. invisible .. that causes a it of a problem?
