[BUG] StatusBarBehavior StatusBarColor DynamicResource binding not working

Is there an existing issue for this?

Current Behavior

I am trying to bind the StatusBarColor of StatusBarBehavior using a DynamicResource-binding, to support theming:

<ContentPage.Behaviors>
    <toolkit:StatusBarBehavior StatusBarColor="{DynamicResource Tertiary}" />
 </ContentPage.Behaviors>

This results in the StatusBarColor being white/transparent instead of the Tertiary color.

Using a StaticResource-binding works as expected.

I have only tested this on Android but @brminnick was able to reproduce it on iOS.

Expected Behavior

The status bar color should reflect the color referenced by the DynamicResource-binding.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Open and run the sample on Android and iOS

@Cybrosys I agree that would be a great addition, please open an issue on .NET MAUI repo asking for it

Thanks @Cybrosys!

I agree with @pictos. We get a lot of Issues opened here in the CommunityToolkit.Maui repo when things like DynamicResources and Bindings don’t work as expected for Behaviors because of this.
