In reference to this post on the Xamarin blog: https://blog.xamarin.com/making-ios-11-even-easier-xamarin-forms/
I have set up what I think should be a proper ContentPage to use safe areas and large titles on NavigationPages in XAML (not exactly the topic of the post but I think I have the right idea).
<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
x:Class="MyApp.Pages.MyPage" Title="Summary"
xmlns:ios="clr-namespace:Xamarin.Forms.PlatformConfiguration.iOSSpecific;assembly=Xamarin.Forms.Core"
ios:NavigationPage.PrefersLargeTitles="true"
ios:Page.UseSafeArea="true">
The page is invoked in C# like so:
Application.Current.MainPage = new NavigationPage(new SummaryPage());
The safe area works great, but the large titles don't display. Can you tell what I'm missing? I've read I should be able to do everything as a content page that I would do as a Navigation page, unless I'm misunderstanding: https://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/17704/navigationpage-in-xaml
