Cannot get Text from autocomplete on iOS

Hello,

I am using the 15.2.0.46 version of the AutoComplete component.

What I want is to retrieve the text that the user has entered (even if is different from the suggestion). On Android it works perfectly, but on iOS it does not work. On the example I attach, on iOS it does only have autocomplete.Text!="" when you manually select one of the items(but no when you type text), on Android it works perfectly. More information if it helps: It does not trigger the AutoComplete_selectionChanged event when the user enters text, and on Android it does  

Here is the example code:

public partial class MainPage : ContentPage
    {

        SfAutoComplete autocomplete;
            Entry entry;

        public MainPage()
        {
            InitializeComponent();



            autocomplete = new SfAutoComplete
            { MaximumDropDownHeight = 200,
                //MinimumPrefixCharacters = 1,
                ShowSuggestionsOnFocus = true,
                HeightRequest = 50,
                WidthRequest = 200,
                AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.Suggest,
                Watermark = "Enter a country name"
            };

            List<String> countryName = new List<String>();
            countryName.Add("Uganda");
            countryName.Add("Ukraine");
            countryName.Add("United Arab Emirates");
            countryName.Add("United Kingdom");
            countryName.Add("United States");
            autocomplete.AutoCompleteSource = countryName;
            autocomplete.SelectionChanged += Autocomplete_SelectionChanged;


            entry = new Entry
             {
                 Text = "enter",
                 FontSize = 20
             };


            Content = new StackLayout
            {
                Children = { autocomplete, entry }
            };
  
            
        }

        private void Autocomplete_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
        {
          entry.Text=autocomplete.Text;
        }
        
    }

Hi Vanaja, David said he was able to get the text (if not in suggestion) on Android. I am getting empty string in Text even on Android. Please let me know how I can get the entered text in case it doesn't match any suggestion...Thanks, Rohan
