How to capture data inside a Collection View?

Hi there!

First of all, thank you for your time and your incredible library 🔥.

Second, I've been struggling with how to take a "screenshot" of the data within a CollectionView that has a DataTemplate.

I tried to accomplish this by adding an x:Name in the DataTemplate itself, but I had no luck because DataTemplate is not a VisualElement.

Just to clarify, I can obtain a screenshot of the CollectionView and its data but is restricted to its height, I'd like to have the whole data just like in the StackLayout content.

Collection View has caching strategies. And all items are not rendered.

This plugin finds the native control that was created to render the Xamarin.Forms control and just captures it using native APIs.

I don't think it will be possible to capture the all list correctly.

You won't believe me but, I did it work on iOS, however, I have a bug and the last item is not showing completely.

I'll try to fix it and hopefully, I'll share it here soon 😎

@Colima-97 It will be cool if you do it. I'm a little busy on another plugin. But I will consider your PR
