Description

### Before submitting a new issue

- [x] I tested using the latest version of the library, as the bug might be already fixed.
- [x] I tested using a [supported version](https://github.com/reactwg/react-native-releases/blob/main/docs/support.md) of react native.
- [x] I checked for possible duplicate issues, with possible answers.

### Bug summary

When testing the "Tint Colors" example in the example app on iPadOS 18, the property `tabBarInactiveTintColor` has no effect on the inactive items. The inactive items should be orange but they are either black or soft grey (depending on colorscheme).

Is it possible to set the tintcolor of inactive items on iPadOS 18? Seems like the regular `UITabBarItemAppearance` has limited effect on iPadOS 18 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/761056#798245022
