How to display the image editor in safe area in Xamarin.iOS?

This article explains how to view the Xamarin.iOS Image Editor in  safe area to avoid the notch overriding problem with the Syncfusion Xamarin.iOS SfImageEditor.

In iOS 11, a few new visual design updates like including safe area layout guides and large titles has been introduced. If you run application on an iPhone X, then top area will be cropped. To overcome this, please follow these steps:

Step 1: Create an image editor sample with all necessary assemblies.

Step 2: Set the TranslatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints property as false and then adjust the SfImageEditor’s Frame based on SafeAreaInsets. Please refer the following code sample.

 
    …
 
            SfImageEditor imageEditor = new SfImageEditor();
            imageEditor.TranslatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false;
            imageEditor.Image = UIImage.FromBundle("Image.jpeg");
 
            var insets= UIApplication.SharedApplication.Windows[0].SafeAreaInsets;
            imageEditor.Frame = new CoreGraphics.CGRect(
                this.View.Frame.X,
                this.View.Frame.Y + insets.Top,
                this.View.Frame.Width,
                this.View.Frame.Height - (insets.Top + insets.Bottom));
 
            View.AddSubview(imageEditor);
 
    …
