[Bug] IOS Tab Bar is White is some IOS devices even when set to black

[sisaacks]

Description

I have an xamarin shell flyout application. One of our phones, I Phone 12 Mini the background is showing up white even though I have set it to black. This only seems to be happening in the mini. I have read online xamarin/xamarin-macios#12778 that the issue seems to be XCode Related but the last entry made it seem that it was Xamarin related.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create an Xamarin Shell App
2. Set the Resource Dictionary Style with the following:

Expected Behavior

The tab bar should be black and the icons should be white

Actual Behavior

the tab bar is white and the icons are white

Basic Information

The tab bar seems to be be white on IOS 15, even when set to black with the style in the Shell Flyout Application.

Workaround

What version of Xamarin.Forms are you using? The version that came out yesterday (2196) should fix this

Right, seems that should be fixed by #14649, merged and included in the latest version released yesterday. Could you try again with the latest version and share feedback?. Thanks!

Going to assume the linked PR indeed fixed this issue
