Nativescript: Image tintColor fills the image completely, no alpha

[Zurid]

problem occurs on iOS only

version numbers that the issue occurs with:

play.nativescript.org 4.0.1

• CLI: 4.0.0
• Cross-platform modules: "version": "4.0.0-2018-04-30-03"
• Runtime(s): "tns-android": {
  "version": "4.1.0-2018.4.30.1"
  },
  "tns-ios": {
  "version": "4.0.1"
  }

to reproduce

add an image in native playground project play.nativescript.org
apply tintColor to the image
add alpha channel to the tintColor
e.g.

<Image src="https://play.nativescript.org/dist/assets/img/NativeScript_logo.png" tintColor="rgba(31, 25, 11, 0.5)" ></Image>

expected: the content of the image is drawn with the tone specified by the tintColor attribute
actual: the image is drawn as a solid shape of the specified tintColor

works as expected on Android

Is there code involved?

no

sample screen shots

iphone -- grey box instead of tinted image

android -- correct tinted image

Hi @Zurid,

I tested it on my side and have to confirm that this is a real issue, which could be reproduced in a non-Angular project as well.
