Hidden Cells are Visible on iOS

Description

Sadly, unvisible cells are somehow visible, strangely stacked and looking very ugly for the user.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new Maui Project
2. Add SettingsView
3. Create a new Cell based on CustomCell (can be a seperate class or inline) with example content:

<settings:SettingsView>
    <settings:Section Title="Title">
        <settings:EntryCell Title="Test" />
        <settings:CustomCell IsVisible="False">
            <Grid>
                <Label Text="adasdas" />
                <Switch />
            </Grid>
        </settings:CustomCell>
    </settings:Section>
</settings:SettingsView>

4. Run it (on iOS) and see

Workaround

I've found no Workaround yet. It's worth mentioning that it is working with the "default" AiForms Cells. So obviously something is happening in that controls, which is not happening in the CustomCell base class.

[tibuprophen]

A workaround is this:

public class FixedCustomCell : CustomCell
{
    protected override void OnPropertyChanged(string? propertyName = null)
    {
        base.OnPropertyChanged(propertyName);
        if (propertyName == nameof(IsVisible))
            UpdateContainerVisibility();
        else if (propertyName == nameof(Content))
            UpdateContainerVisibility();
    }

    private void UpdateContainerVisibility()
    {
        if (Content == null)
            return;
        Content.IsVisible = IsVisible;
    }
}
