Description

Hi!

I wrote an empty Alloy iOS app with simple Tabgroup and 2 tabs. If you define the titleColor of the tabgroup, it works as expected on iPhone sim, but does not on iPad sim.

More information of this could be found on this tislack conversation

And this post

Expected Behavior

The tabs should have the specified color on titleColor

Actual behavior

The tab's title on iPad are painted gray.

Reproducible sample

index.xml

<Alloy>
	<TabGroup>
		<Tab title="test" icon="/images/tab1.png"><Window/></Tab>
		<Tab title="test" icon="/images/tab1.png"><Window/></Tab>
		<Tab title="test" icon="/images/tab1.png"><Window/></Tab>
		<Tab title="test" icon="/images/tab1.png"><Window/></Tab>
	</TabGroup>
</Alloy>

index.tss

"TabGroup" : {
    activeTintColor: "red",
    activeTitleColor: "red",
    tintColor: "purple",
    titleColor: "purple",
    tabsBackgroundColor: "#F7F7F7",
}

For some reason, you need to have the image set to make it work. You could download one from here

Steps to reproduce

1. Empty ti app
2. New alloy project
3. Copy and paste above sample
4. Run on iOS, first on iPhone to see how it should work
5. Then run on iPad sim

Platform

iOS

SDK version you are using

10.1.1.GA

It seems to happen only on iOS 15. Already tried on iOS 14 iPad simulator and works fine
