Navigating to item in Xamarin.Forms from a view that has a custom renderer causes blank black/white screen in iOS - xamarin

When navigating to an item in a Flyout menu from a view that contains a custom renderer, the screen turns into blank black/white screen where the white was the flyout menu, and the black is the detail (see attached). We are using Prism navigation to navigate via the flyout menu.
Screenshot of blank black and white sections
This happens only in iOS.
Expected behavior was to navigate to a different screen/view but, instead, it gave us what you see in the screenshot above. In addition, we have to force-close the app because we get stuck.
At first, we thought that it was a Flyout issue but it appears to be a navigation issue.
Anybody know what may be causing this anomalous behavior?

Xamarin.Forms: Unwanted Behavior of Master-Detail Menu/Hamburger button

I'm running the default Master Detail app for Xamarin.Forms which shows the Menu/Master button on the top left.
And this is how it looks when I rotate it to landscape.
When I drill down into detail page while in Landscape...
Then I rotate the device to portrait mode on this page.
Everything is working as expected until I press back button from this page.
You might see it is missing the Master/menu button(or the hamburger button). Am I missing anything here?

I understand your problem here, i am not sure how to get that big button overflowing the tabbar but however have a look at this
https://devlinduldulao.pro/how-to-create-bottom-navigation-bar-in-xamarin-forms/
That's an open source project and the source code is linked at the bottom of page, you can tweak the animation (which i like very much) and use a customrenderer to render the center icon over a circle.
Have a look if that helps you in any way! :)

Xcode - Hide View Controller Scene Panel

I am completely new to Xcode. I would like to hide the View Controller Scene panel, so that I can follow on with a tutorial, and have more screen real estate. I understand that I can hide the left and right panels, but it's the panel I have highlighted in red which I want to hide. Many thanks.
There's a small icon representing that panel at the bottom of the storyboard view. It's just to the left of the spot that says "View as: iPhone 8..." in your image. Click that icon to toggle the visibility of the storyboard outline view.
There's also a menu command: Editor->Hide Document Outline that does the same thing.
Press the highlighted icon to hide the side panel.
For xcode 11.3 you may hide the preview by
Editor->Preview
make sure it is not checked.

Xcode: How to show Preview in separate window instead of showing in Assistant editor?

When I'm making edits in storyboard I know how to show the preview in the assistant editor (as shown in the below screen shot).
How to show the preview in a separate window, so that I'll be able to drag it to my the screen attached to my computer?
UPDATE: Adding few more images to clarify what is the "Storyboard Preview":
In XCode 7 I managed to do this by selecting File -> New window, then adding a preview-part teh same way you illustrate above. I then drag it to my secondary screen resize everything to give a good preview of the screen sizes I want.

Scroll View and Toolbar

In Xcode 6, I am designing an app whose view has a scroll view and a toolbar. However, when I run my app in iOS Simulator, the toolbar stays where it was placed in interface builder and does not stay directly at the bottom as I scroll. How can I fix this?
Thanks for your help.
Have you placed the toolbar inside the scroll view? If so, you will want to move it outside of the scroll view and anchor it instead at the bottom of the parent view. Then you will want to reduce the size of your scroll view so that it does not get cut off by the toolbar.
