Description

Description

VisualStateManager is not working properly for VisualStates declared in an Entry with Visual="Material" applied. This issue only affects iOS.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a Page with an Entry
  2. Setup the Entry to use Material Visual
  3. Create custom Visual States with setters that changes the TextColor property
  4. Implement some login to change between the defined Visual States

Expected Behavior

When changing to a new Visual State, the correct color should be applied to the TextColor Property.

Actual Behavior

The application of the TextColor Setter property behaves inconsistently between states. I could check on debugging that the property has changed, but not applied on screen.
