Fill iPhone X Screen with Xamarin.Forms App

Question

I have an iPhone app I created using Xamarin.Forms. Recently, I tried looking at my app on the iPhone X simulator and found that there is blank space at the top and bottom of the phone as shown in this picture:

I saw in this SO post that when the iPhone 5 came out, there was a similar issue that was fixed by adding a launch screen image of a different size.

Does anyone know the fix for iPhone X? Is it a launch screen issue or something else? Are there any other things that should be done to a Xamarin.Forms app to make it compatible with iPhone X?

You need to add a launch storyboard to your project or add launch images of the right size to let iOS know you app works on the iPhone x — Paulw11, Nov 05 '17 at 20:00
Are you referring to the launch images in my asset catalog? How do I add new ones for iPhone X? — cvanbeek, Nov 05 '17 at 20:04
In iOS 8 (and later), the developer can create a special Unified Storyboard to provide the Launch Screen instead of using one or more static launch images.

@ColeXia What does the launch screen have to do with other pages in the app? — Kevin Le - Khnle, Dec 12 '17 at 21:03

I had the same problem on an old Xamarin Forms project.

You probably don't have the launch image for the iPhone X (that was my case). I just replaced my launch images asset with a storyboard for launch screen and it was good.

Hope it helps !

How do you do this with Visual Studios on Windows (When connected to a Mac)? – Ryan Gaudion Jan 28 '20 at 13:37
