[Bug] TextToSpeech issue when selecting a specific voice

[sabant]

Description

TextToSpeech doesnt allow to select a specific voices for IOS and Android

var locales = await TextToSpeech.GetLocalesAsync(); locale = locales.FirstOrDefault(w => w.Name.ToUpper().Contains("LEE"));

This code return the correct locale but this is not the one played but the default voice for the same language (in this case English)

Steps to Reproduce

1. Download the "Lee" voice on iOS
2. Run the below code

Expected Behavior

Actual Behavior

"Karen" is played instead of Lee

Basic Information

• Version with issue: Xamarin Form 5.0.0.2012 , Xamarin.Essentials 1.7.0

Looking at the source code, I suspect the issue comes from the following method in class TextToSpeech.ios.tvos.watchos.cs :

static AVSpeechUtterance GetSpeechUtterance(string text, SpeechOptions options)
        {
            var speechUtterance = new AVSpeechUtterance(text);

            if (options != null)
            {
                // null voice if fine - it is the default
                speechUtterance.Voice =
                    AVSpeechSynthesisVoice.FromLanguage(options.Locale?.Language)_ ??

//Should be replaced by the following method

                    **AVSpeechSynthesisVoice.FromIdentifier(options.Locale?.Id)??**

                    AVSpeechSynthesisVoice.FromLanguage(AVSpeechSynthesisVoice.CurrentLanguageCode);

                // the platform has a range of 0.5 - 2.0
                // anything lower than 0.5 is set to 0.5
                if (options.Pitch.HasValue)
                    speechUtterance.PitchMultiplier = options.Pitch.Value;

                if (options.Volume.HasValue)
                    speechUtterance.Volume = options.Volume.Value;
            }

            return speechUtterance;
        }

so it always runs the default voice? in my case, it doesnt work like that. i was filtering locales by language code. On my Iphone 54 locales are returned by var crossLocales = await TextToSpeech.GetLocalesAsync(); query. If i get the first english locale, it is usually the one with en-AU and since i dont have any default or downloaded for AU, it doesnt even work. Country property is always returned null
