Selection handle does not use CupertinoThemeData.primaryColor from the nearest theme on iOS #161573
Description
Steps to reproduce
- Open the app on iOS
- Enter text into a TextField
- Double tap to select the text
Expected results
The selection handles should be blue/CupertinoThemeData.primaryColor as stated in the docs. This seems to have regressed in Flutter 3.27.
Actual results
The selection handle color remains purple, ignoring CupertinoThemeData.primaryColor.
