📄 Description

This PR shows how to use Xamarin.Forms pages in an iOS extensions. This will allow to move all the native iOS controllers to the shared XF core and implement them with Xaml, MVVM and hot reload.

The key steps are:

Add XF NuGet reference
initialize XF
Do NOT load XF app
Create XF pages and convert them to view controller with CreateViewController method
Stay alert on memory usage by your extension as XF will add memory pressure and extensions are strict on that.

I've tested on sim and device, in release configuration with enabled linker (SDK Only or All) the extension performs well, no issues found with this approach.
