This change was needed to fix fantom tests. Fantom tests run on platform/cxx platform where clearColor was treated as false (same as android). iOS was treating it as true. So this also change makes it consistent on all platforms.

The OTP input overlays a hidden TextInput on top of the visual digit cells. RN 0.81 (Expo SDK 54) regressed handling of `color: 'transparent'` on Android, causing the underlying glyphs to paint on top of the cell overlay and appear as duplicated/ghosted digits. Using `#ffffff00` instead of the `'transparent'` keyword avoids the regression until the upstream fix ships. Refs: - facebook/react-native#53343 - facebook/react-native#55380

Summary:
Fixes - #53343. Passing
transparentinto text color renders black color text on android.This broke with a fix implemented here. The issue is that if user passes
transparenttext color from JS, it gets converted to0value on platform. Currently,0is treated as Undefined on android, which causes this check to fail becausebooloverride function returns false thinking the passed color isUndefined😅 . Default text attribute is black color so android keeps the black color instead of overriding it withtransparent.This PR fixes it by removing the concept of
Undefinedplatform color and introducing adefinedproperty toSharedColor. This will make it consistent on different platforms. If user doesSharedColor(), they'll get an undefined color (in bool checks) andSharedColor(red)would give a defined shared color.Changelog:
[ANDROID] [FIXED] - Transparent text color renders black text.
Test Plan:
