App Settings: the editor always matches the device appearance setting regardless of the in-app appearance setting

[designsimply]

Steps to reproduce:

1. On the device, change to Settings > Display & Brightness > Appearance > Dark.
2. In the app, go to Profile > App Settings > Appearance > Light.
3. Create a new post.
4. Repeat the steps except swapping Light and Dark.

Result: the editor appearance does not respect the in-app appearance setting. (2m31s)

Device: Light In-app: Dark	Device: Dark In-app: Light

^{Tested with WPiOS 15.1.0.2 TestFlight beta on iPhone 6S iOS 13.3.1.}

I can still replicate this issue, on IOS the phone is set to light but I changed the WP in-app settings to dark:

On a Post the background is light even though the WP App Settings have been changed to dark:

WordPress 6.0.1
Gutenberg 13.8.1 active

Hey there @Thelmachido 👋

Can you share which theme you have enabled? For block-based themes, we use the theme's background and we don't change it for light/dark mode.

Hi @geriux

The site I checked with is using the Twenty Nineteen theme, https://testthelma.mystagingwebsite.com/

My apologies for not mentioning that previously.
