RadioButton: TextColor for plain Content not working on iOS

[marco-skizza]

Description

I have a simple RadioButton on a page:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ContentPage xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2021/maui"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
             x:Class="MauiRadio8.MainPage">

    <ScrollView>
        <VerticalStackLayout
            HorizontalOptions="Center"
            VerticalOptions="Center"
            Background="Green">

            <RadioButton
                Content="White"
                Value="1"
                TextColor="White" />

        </VerticalStackLayout>
    </ScrollView>

</ContentPage>

On iOS the TextColor is not taken into account: On WinUI for example the text appears correctly in white:

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new MAUI app from template
2. Add the above xml in the MainPage.xaml

Version with bug

8.0.0-rc.2.9373

Is this a regression from previous behavior?

No, this is something new

Last version that worked well

Unknown/Other

Affected platforms

iOS

Affected platform versions

Tested on iPad mini 6, iPadOS 16.7.1

Did you find any workaround?

Even though not so nice, it can be fixed with custom Content:

            <RadioButton
                Value="1">
                <RadioButton.Content>
                    <Label TextColor="White">White</Label>
                </RadioButton.Content>
            </RadioButton>

Relevant log output

Looks like this was fixed when I tested it on the latest in main:

Thanks @dustin-wojciechowski

With today's nightly build 8.0.60-ci.net8.24272.1 I still experience the issue. But I don't know how you handle the merging of your main, so I'll check back when 8.0.60 is officially out.

Or do you mean it'll be fixed with v9?

[dustin-wojciechowski]

@marco-skizza The nightly builds should reflect what's in main. I tested it again on IPad 16.4 and seems like it's working:

I just copy pasted the code you had in your description into our "Sandbox" project that allows us to more easily test things. Do you perhaps have any workarounds in place or something that would conflict with this? If it's another issue, such as with Control Template, we can possibly link that to some open issues we're currently investigating.

Hi @dustin-wojciechowski

I created a sample project with which I still experience the issue on 8.0.60-ci.net8.24274.1: https://github.com/marco-skizza/MauiRadioButtonTextColor

Besides, I'm now on:

• Visual Studio 17.10.0
• Xcode 15.2
• Device: iPad mini 6 with iPadOS 17.3.1

[dustin-wojciechowski]

Hmm, now that I've imported your project directly I receive the same behavior. I'm wondering if this is related to an issue we're having with RadioButton and Control Templates... I'll reopen this in the meanwhile while we continue investigation.

It works for me with the code from the @marco-skizza repo

<VerticalStackLayout
            HorizontalOptions="Center"
            VerticalOptions="Center"
            Background="Green">

            <RadioButton
                Content="White"
                Value="1"
                TextColor="White" />
</VerticalStackLayout>

Hi

It still doesn't work for me with the code from my repo (see on top of page). I wonder what you are doing different than me...?

Besides, I'm now on:

• .NET MAUI: 8.0.70-ci.net8.24312.3
• Visual Studio 17.10.2
• Xcode 15.4
• Device: iPad mini 6 with iPadOS 17.5.1

@marco-skizza maybe try to remove explicit styles applied to RadioButton in Styles.xaml

[marco-skizza]

@kubaflo Thanks for the hint. But I already have a workaround in place (see original post). This issue is more for other people, trying to set the text color of the radio button in an new/untouched project.

I commented out the Style for RadioButton, but this is still an issue for me on .NET MAUI: 8.0.70-ci.net8.24312.3.
