There are even trivial improvements to setting ImeOptions, coloring various elements of switches and bars, and so many more.

Earlier this year, we surveyed Xamarin.Forms developers about the kinds of custom controls and extra platform code being written repeatedly that should be considered for support “in the box”. From these conversations, we created an initiative to deliver as many as we could in the next several releases. Just six weeks after shipping Xamarin.Forms 3.0 at Build 2018, we are excited to introduce Xamarin.Forms 3.1 with a batch of those enhancements to make your lives easier. Now you can spend more time investing in your applications! In this article, we'll take a look at some of the highlights.
