We are using an absolute layout to create a composite control where two buttons are relative to each other, but there is significant space in between. The buttons sit over a map. We want the user to be able to touch between the buttons and the tap to go through to the map. By default with Xamarin Forms on iOS, all touches are trapped by Layout controls, so tapping the empty space between the buttons doesn't not go through to the map, because the AbsoluteLayout traps them.
How do I set these iOS properties on the absolute layout?
UserInteractionEnabled = false;
ExclusiveTouch = false;
And if I do this, does it propagate to all the children being my images/buttons will no longer be tappable?
If I have to use a custom renderer, fine. But what is the iOS native control that I will be working with (see question marks). What native control does an AbsoluteLayout become in iOS?
public class CustomNoTouchAbsoluteLayoutRenderer : ViewRenderer<CustomNoTouchAbsoluteLayout, ?????>
