Xamarin Shell.BackgroundColor is wrong - xamarin

Question

In my AppShell I am setting the background color of the shell, like this:
<Setter Property="Shell.BackgroundColor" Value="#0075BE" />
However, when the app runs in an iOS emulator, the title bar actually has a BackgroundColor of #2588C6 (I checked with a color picker).
In an Android emulator, the color is closer at #0073C1, but still incorrect.
How do I get the title bar to be the actual color that I have specified?

Answer 1

Just add this line in AppDelegate.cs
UINavigationBar.Appearance.Translucent = false;

Answer 2

You can have a try with Xamarin.Forms Shell Custom Renderers
IOS:
using UIKit;
using Xamarin.Forms;
using Xamarin.Forms.Platform.iOS;
[assembly: ExportRenderer(typeof(Xaminals.AppShell), typeof(Xaminals.iOS.MyShellRenderer))]
namespace Xaminals.iOS
{
public class MyShellRenderer : ShellRenderer
{
protected override IShellSectionRenderer CreateShellSectionRenderer(ShellSection shellSection)
{
var renderer = base.CreateShellSectionRenderer(shellSection);
if (renderer != null)
{
(renderer as ShellSectionRenderer).NavigationBar.BackgroundColor = UIColor.Red;
(renderer as ShellSectionRenderer).NavigationBar.SetBackgroundImage(new UIImage(), UIBarMetrics.Default);
}
return renderer;
}
}
}
Android:
using Android.Content;
using Xamarin.Forms;
using Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Android;
[assembly: ExportRenderer(typeof(Xaminals.AppShell), typeof(Xaminals.Droid.MyShellRenderer))]
namespace Xaminals.Droid
{
public class MyShellRenderer : ShellRenderer
{
public MyShellRenderer(Context context) : base(context)
{
}
protected override IShellToolbarAppearanceTracker CreateToolbarAppearanceTracker()
{
return new MyShellToolbarAppearanceTracker(this);
}
}
public class MyShellToolbarAppearanceTracker : ShellToolbarAppearanceTracker
{
public MyShellToolbarAppearanceTracker(IShellContext context) : base(context)
{
}
public override void SetAppearance(Toolbar toolbar, IShellToolbarTracker toolbarTracker, ShellAppearance appearance)
{
base.SetAppearance(toolbar, toolbarTracker, appearance);
toolbar.SetBackgroundColor(Android.Graphics.Color.ParseColor("#0075BE"));
}
}
}
