Xamarin iOS ignoring padding style for ContentPage

Im try to set padding for ContentPage in different ways:

1. Direct in ContentPage tag

<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
                xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
                x:Class="SkeletonApp.Example.MainPage"
                Padding="10,15,10,15">
<!-- Content -->
</ContentPage>

2. Separate define in xaml-file

<ContentPage ...>
                <ContentPage.Padding>
                     <OnPlatform x:TypeArguments="Thickness">
                          <On Platform="iOS" Value="0,80,0,0" />
                     </OnPlatform>
                </ContentPage.Padding>
<!-- Content -->
</ContentPage>

3. In Application.Resources block

<Style TargetType="ContentPage" ApplyToDerivedTypes="True"> 
    <Setter Property="BackgroundColor" Value="{AppThemeBinding Light=#FFFFFF, Dark=#000000}" />
    <Setter Property="Padding" Value="10,15,10,15"/>
</Style>

But in all cases iOS(Simulator or device) ignored this styles while the Android shows everything is fine.

Moreover, the iOS only ignores padding and applies color styles o_O

Im tested styling padding for other element(Label) - is fine

I guessed what UseSafeArea=True create a trouble but no. If set UseSafeArea=False or remove nothing to change

Why does this happen and how to deal with it?

        }

        {
            OSAppTheme currentTheme = Application.Current.RequestedTheme;

            Application.Current.UserAppTheme = currentTheme == OSAppTheme.Dark ? OSAppTheme.Light : OSAppTheme.Dark;
        }
    }
}

Screenshot with little colorfill

This may relate to [Bug] Shell content padding on iOS default. And for iOS, the SetPaddingInsets api has been removed. That means we could not set the padding for the ContentPage in a Shell app.

Though we cannot set the Padding for a ContentPage, we could set the Padding for the layout, such as <StackLayout Spacing="10" Padding="10,15,10,15">

By the way, Xamarin will be end of support from May. It is recommend that you migrate Xamarin App to MAUI.
