Entry ReturnType.Next does not render on Android when application is launched, but does if changed via hot reload

[chriskoncewicz]

Description

Setting the Entry ReturnType="Next" does not render a Next button on Android device - it still renders the Done button.

However, if the app is launched in debug mode to a device (I haven't tried with the emulator), and the ReturnType is changed to Next while the app is running, then the keyboard renders the Next button, and it functions as expected, moving focus to the next field.

If the app is restarted with ReturnType still set to next, then the keyboard again renders a Done button.

Steps to Reproduce

1, Create a new MAUI app
2. Add an entry field to the page and set the ReturnType="Next"
3. Run the app - the keyboard is rendered with "Done"
4. While the app is running, change the return type to "Done" and save - obviously no change
5. Again while the app is running, change the return type back to "Next" - the keyboard now renders the Next button.
6. Re-start the app with no changes from step 5, and the keyboard reverts to showing Done instead of Next.
