This is a big issue for us as well. Happening on all our XF apps. Xamarin.Forms v3.4.0.1009999

Retested with most recent XamForms version and seems to work now. With the exception of iPhone X and up, but it seems that is something Apple has decided not to support anymore: https://forums.developer.apple.com/message/268015
