OS system components ignore app theme #22058

Description

In the maui app, when the operating system theme is set opposite to that of the app itself, certain components such as the datepicker, keyboard, and navigation list animations display in the wrong theme.

This results in the components adopting the theme of the operating system, causing the user to see a component in the opposite color.

For example:
The app is set to the "Light" theme, but the user has their phone's theme set to "Dark." The app appears to the user in white, but native iOS/Android components like the datepicker and keyboard appear in the theme of the operating system, in this case, dark.

I've reproduced this on the following devices: Windows, Android, IOS

Please refer to the attached images for clarification.:

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a new maui project
  2. Set the UserAppTheme to Dark UserAppTheme = AppTheme.Dark;
  3. Insert a timepicker to you mainwindow
  4. Set your os system theme to light
  5. Launch the app
  6. Open the timepicker component
  7. Component is in in light mode -> but should be dark
