TextField no longer displays Clear button when AllowClear=true

[StepKie]

Reproduction branch:
https://github.com/StepKie/MauiPlayground/tree/uranium/textfield-clear-861
To reproduce, start typing into the first text field (clear icon does not show at the start in either case when initial Text is set directly in xaml, which might be the desired behavior, not sure)

---

Edit: Additional information: it depends on the exact combination of .net and UraniumUI.
A particular incompatibility seems introduced in UraniumUI 2.10.0:

TextField.ClearIcon:

DOES NOT SHOW: - .net9.0, UraniumUI nuget >=2.10.0 ( 2.10.0- 2.11.2 tested)
DOES SHOW - .net9.0, UraniumUI nuget <2.10.0 (2.7.4 - 2.9.1 tested)
DOES SHOW - .net8.0, UraniumUI latest nuget

TextField no longer shows ClearIcon when using net9.0

<TargetFrameworks>net9.0-android;net9.0-ios;net9.0-maccatalyst</TargetFrameworks>
<ItemGroup>
	<PackageReference Include="CommunityToolkit.Maui" Version="11.1.0" />

Code for this:

<VerticalStackLayout>
  <Label HorizontalOptions="Center" Text="Here, the first text field is not clearable:" />
  <material:TextField Title="Clearable TextField" AllowClear="True" Text="Test Text" />
  <material:TextField Title="Non-Clearable TextField" AllowClear="False" Text="Test Text" />
  <Label HorizontalOptions="Center" Text="For contrast, DatePicker is still clearable" />
  <material:DatePickerField Title="Clearable DatePicker" AllowClear="True" />
  <material:DatePickerField Title="Not-Clearable DatePicker" AllowClear="False" />
</VerticalStackLayout>

@enisn This is really critical in my opinion. Any insight?

@enisn A short update, and maybe helpful:

it can reproduced in UraniumUI when updating MauiVersion to the latest 9.0.50.
Then, the clearable fields on the demo (like here) will also no longer show the Clear Icon.

The issue seems that there is some incompatibility, and my guess would be it has to do with compiled bindings.

For example, in our project, bindings in Pickers stopped working after MauiVersion 9.0.30 I believe, in XAML like this:

 <material:PickerField
          Title="{resx:Localize TestType}"
          AllowClear="False"
          ItemDisplayBinding="{Binding ., Converter={StaticResource EnumNameConverter}}"
          ItemsSource="{Binding AvailableTestTypes}"
          SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedTestType}" />

here, the it would suddenly no longer display anything.
The issue was that we had a x:DataType=our:viewmodel on the page level, and now since MAUI got more strict about compiled bindings. It only started working again after we specified the x:DataType on the inner element explicitly, like so:

 <material:PickerField
          Title="{resx:Localize TestType}"
          AllowClear="False"
          ItemDisplayBinding="{Binding ., x:DataType=models:SpecimenTestType, Converter={StaticResource EnumNameConverter}}"
          SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedTestType}" />

maybe something similar is at play here?

Currently, the issue is that I can not use the latest version of UraniumUI and the latest version of MAUI concurrently, so I would miss out on MAUI bug fixes if I were to fix my MauiVersion as well.
