SfDataGrid not editable on iOS

[Stephen]

I have Xamarin forms solution with UWP and iOS projects. The SfDataGid I create edits properly on Windows, but when I run it on an iPad I can't edit the cells. Here is the XAML:

                <xForms:SfDataGrid x:Name="FormationDataGrid"
                                   Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2"
                                   AllowEditing="True" EditTapAction="OnTap" EditorSelectionBehavior="SelectAll"
                                   ShowRowHeader="True" ColumnSizer="Star" RowHeaderWidth="25"
                                   AutoGenerateColumns="True"
                                   AutoGeneratingColumn="DataGrid_AutoGeneratingColumn"
                                   ItemsSource="{Binding OneDFormationViewModel.LayerCollection, Mode=TwoWay}">

                    <xForms:SfDataGrid.RowHeaderTemplate>
                        <DataTemplate>
                            <Label Text="{Binding Index}"  HorizontalTextAlignment = "Center" VerticalTextAlignment = "Center" />
                        </DataTemplate>
                    </xForms:SfDataGrid.RowHeaderTemplate>

                </xForms:SfDataGrid>

I have tried tapping, double tapping, and pressing on iOS and the cells won't go into edit mode. I have no trouble editing Entry controls I have in the app. What I am doing wrong?

I am using v15.4.0.20.

I have downloaded and tested the example and editing works properly on my iPad. I have noticed a difference in our projects. You are using a PCL and I am using a .NET Standard 2.0 class library. Could this be the source of the problem?

[Stephen]

I have managed to get editing to work properly in my SfDataGrid by placing the control as the only item on the page. Originally it was imbedded within three nested Grid controls. I see now that one of my six Entry controls was also disabled for editing. Although it all looks the way I intended, there must be something wrong with my Grid arrangement.

[Stephen]

To wrap this up, I found a problem with the height of a Grid row that contained the Grid that contained the SfDataGrid. The height was not large enough to display all the controls within. Despite that, it did display all the controls within on both Windows and iOS, so I did not notice. In addition all the controls worked properly on Windows. I think if I had made this mistake using WPF it would have been immediately evident.
