title: Xamarin Forms Shell covering top information line on iOS (iPad)
body: <p>I have a Xamarin Forms app using the new Shell feature.  My problem now is that the shell menu area (Hamburger menu area at the top) is covered by my app and I would rather it not be.</p>
  
  <p>Here is what I am talking about.</p>

  <p>You can see the area with the Data and Time at the top is covered in the second image from my app.  I would like that to not be the case.  </p>
  
  <p>In other apps I have done this on content pages:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;ContentPage.Padding&gt;
      &lt;OnPlatform x:TypeArguments="Thickness"&gt;
          &lt;On Platform="iOS"&gt;8,20,8,0&lt;/On&gt;
          &lt;On Platform="Android"&gt;8,0,8,0&lt;/On&gt;
          &lt;On Platform="UWP"&gt;8,0,8,0&lt;/On&gt;
      &lt;/OnPlatform&gt;
  &lt;/ContentPage.Padding&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and in the Shell page I have tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;Shell.Padding&gt;
      &lt;OnPlatform x:TypeArguments="Thickness"&gt;
          &lt;On Platform="iOS"&gt;8,20,8,0&lt;/On&gt;
          &lt;On Platform="Android"&gt;8,0,8,0&lt;/On&gt;
          &lt;On Platform="UWP"&gt;8,0,8,0&lt;/On&gt;
      &lt;/OnPlatform&gt;
  &lt;/Shell.Padding&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but it makes no difference.  Any idea how make the date / time are not overlaid by the Shell menu?</p>
  
  <p>UPDATE:
  After applying the iOS Safe areas as described below, the app appears to look the same to me:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/k4e2C.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/k4e2C.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>The background behind the data and time is still the background color of the shell header (i.e. black) so you can't really see them.  I want the shell to move down so the users can still see the date / time on left, network / charge indicators on the right. </p>
