.NET 8 Changing BackgroundColor through an attached property does not work on Android

[FreakyAli]

Description

I have a Static class that uses attached properties to create a shimmer effect, This stops updating the BackgroundColor with .NET 8. Works fine on iOS and on both with .NET 7 and 6.

Steps to Reproduce

• Go to the repo link below and download.
• Run and visit the skeleton effect screen.
• The correct background colour will update on iOS once the skeleton effect is complete but fails on Android. (The colour is assigned correctly yet it does not do anything)

.NET 8	.NET 7

@Jon2G I thought .NET7 is unsupported now...
