### Current Behavior

I'm setting the BackgroundColor property in the MediaElement but it looks like the color doesn't change on iOS (looks OK on Android).

```xaml

```

### Expected Behavior

When setting the BackgroundColor property in the MediaElement, the color should be updated on iOS.

### Steps To Reproduce

1. Clone the project https://github.com/juniorsaraviao/VideoSample/tree/master.
2. Run the project on Android and iOS.

### Link to public reproduction project repository

- .NET MAUI CommunityToolkit: 3.0.1
- OS: macOS Sonoma 14.1.1
- .NET MAUI: 8.0.3
```

Research direction

Start with the VideoSample reproduction project and run its MediaElement example on Android and iOS using the versions listed in the issue. Compare the BackgroundColor behavior on both platforms; done means the configured color is visibly applied on iOS as it is on Android.
