Solution

As Microsoft mentions in the Microsoft blog, this is fixed in Xamarin.Forms 4.6

Now in 4.6, we are updating the bindings to Google’s library. We have improved the styling support for things like, setting a button’s ‘Disabled’ text color. The latest library also removes the reference to Apple’s deprecated UIWebView.

So update your Xamarin.Forms to Version 4.6.
