Embedding an iOS ContentView or Layout does not get a size

[mattleibow]

Description

If I embed a button or entry, the default layout by iOS works as expected.

However, if there is a layout or content view, the view has a size of 0x0 and thus none of the items are interactable since they are all outside the bounds of the views.

I don't think this is an issue with embedding. I think this has to do with how UIStackView works.

If I add the following lines to @mattleibow 's sample it works fine

var nativeView = mauiView.ToPlatformEmbedded(mauiContext);

        nativeView.WidthAnchor.ConstraintEqualTo(500).Active = true;
        nativeView.HeightAnchor.ConstraintEqualTo(500).Active = true;
