Converting a Xamarin.Forms application across to use WinUI + Uno is mostly straight forward as a lot of the XAML is either the same, or has an equivalent. When you’re dealing with platform specifics, one thing you might come across is the SetUseSafeArea call. For example:
On<Xamarin.Forms.PlatformConfiguration.iOS>().SetUseSafeArea(true);
The Uno platform exposes the concept of safe area using the VisibleBoundsPadding behavior. This can be done for all supported platforms using the toolkit namespace prefix (xmlns:toolkit="using:Uno.UI.Toolkit"
) eg
toolkit:VisibleBoundsPadding.PaddingMask="All"
Alternatively, you can specify individual platforms using the platform specific namespace prefix (xmlns:ios="http://uno.ui/ios"
) eg
ios:VisibleBoundsPadding.PaddingMask="All"
Don’t forget to add any of the platform specific namespaces to the ignorable list (eg mc:Ignorable="d ios"
)
