Essential UI Kit producing blank forms

Hey,
Just starting to develop with Xamarin Forms and am having trouble getting the Essential UI kit to work on VS for mac.

I've installed the extension, added a simple login page, altered the app.xaml.cs to:

MainPage = new Views.Forms.SimpleLoginPage();

and all I get when running the app is a completely blank screen.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,

Hi Phil Grant,   
  
Greetings from the Syncfusion.   
  
We would like to let you know the reported issue has already been fixed in our latest version of UIKit extension. We suggested you upgrade the version to resolve it. 
  
If you want to work the same thing with your used version then, please add the following highlighted lines in the FinishedLaunching overridden method of the AppDelegate class. The lines need to be added after the Xamarin.Forms framework initialization and before the LoadApplication method is called in iOS project as below.  
  
Code Snippet: 
 
public override bool FinishedLaunching(UIApplication app, NSDictionary options)  
{              
global::Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init();                 
Syncfusion.XForms.iOS.Buttons.SfButtonRenderer.Init(); 
Syncfusion.XForms.iOS.Border.SfBorderRenderer.Init();              
LoadApplication(new App());              
 return base.FinishedLaunching(app, options);  
}  
  
Please let me know if you need any further assistance in this.   
  
Regards,   
Anand Raj S.

Greetings from Syncfusion. 
   
We have checked your reported problem that the Essential UI Kit SimpleLoginPage content not showing. We validated the reported issue by preparing the sample using Essential UIKit visual studio extension for MAC, in which it worked fine at our end.  
   
Please find the tested sample link below:  
   
   
Configuration details: 

Syncfusion Version: 18.2.0.57
Xamarin Forms Version: 4.2
 
Essential UIKit Visual Studio Extension Version: 3.0.0.0 
Visual Studio for MAC Version: 8.2.5

Can you please check the attached sample and please Share the following details? 
  
·       Can you please confirm whether your sample becomes Xamarin.Forms Master Detail Page or Blank Page?  
·       Please share your using configuration details which completely differ with our Sample.   
·       Is it occurred with the specific devices or else to common? In addition, please share the used device   
   
This will be helpful for us to investigate further and provide you a better solution at the earliest.  
 
Note :  still in trouble, does not load the map.  - query is updated like map, could you please also confirm whether you are facing the issue with same UIKit page or else with any other control issue.
