The Editor TextChanged event stopped firing on iOS 26.1 release builds after migrating to .NET 10. The event worked correctly in debug builds.

Root Cause

.NET 10's trimmer removes the OnChanged event handler in MauiTextView.cs during release builds. The method subscribes to the native UITextView.Changed event, but the linker's static analysis doesn't recognize this indirect reference and incorrectly marks it as unused.

Changes

  • src/Core/src/Platform/iOS/MauiTextView.cs: Added [UnconditionalSuppressMessage("Memory", "MEM0003")] to preserve OnChanged event handler
  • src/Controls/tests/: Added UI test EditorTextChangedIOS26 to validate TextChanged event fires correctly
[UnconditionalSuppressMessage("Memory", "MEM0003", Justification = "Event handler for UITextView.Changed - proven safe in test: MemoryTests.HandlerDoesNotLeak")]
void OnChanged(object? sender, EventArgs e)
{
    HidePlaceholderIfTextIsPresent(Text);
    TextSetOrChanged?.Invoke(this, EventArgs.Empty);
}

This follows the same pattern used for other event handlers in the codebase (e.g., CarouselViewController2.cs, ItemsViewController.cs).

<issue_description>### Description

I just confirmed from older builds on TestFlight that in ios 26.0 with dotnet 9 builds it worked, regression started after net10 migration.

Steps to Reproduce

Create editor and add listener for TextChanged and try on release build from TestFlight.

App crashes because of changing a shared Drawable on the fly. I found
out it is the SearchBar. It only happens on Android and in large apps
with lots of screens. Unfortunately I can't reproduce it in the
TestSuite. But by reading the docs of Android this crash is common and
caused by changing a Drawable which is still referenced. With a custom
SearchBarHandler the issues is resolved.

### Description of Change

- Changes tinting of Androids SearchBar to unified setTint instead of
setColorFilter
-  Mutates the drawable before setting the tint.

### Issues Fixed
Issue is fixed with a custom handler for now.
