Description
Description
In IOS the TextInput component does not update properly the style when copy and pasted string is bigger then maxLength, issue does not happen on Android. In the minimal reproducible example, there is a simple TextInput that should change text color to red, if text length is bigger or equal then 100 characters. If we copy and paste (using paste with long press) a string longer then 100, the color does not update to red. If user removes and adds last character manually, we can see color changing correctly to red.
Steps to reproduce
- Run
yarn && npx pod-install && yarn ios - Copy a string bigger then 100 characters
- Paste (using long press) the string
- Might be necessary to repeat steps 2 and 3 one more time
- Noticed color is still green and not red

Research direction
Start with the linked TextInputDemo reproducer and follow the documented yarn, pod-install, and yarn ios steps. Investigate the iOS TextInput behavior when pasting more than 100 characters, then verify that the color changes consistently when the length reaches maxLength; Android should remain unaffected.
