Start SfPicker with no selected item?

[Andrew Hoke]

I am trying to use an SfPicker to select an option from a list. The UI is completely MVVM with no C# code-behind controlling UI/model state. I would like to be able to display the SfPicker with no initial selection so the user can pick the initial selection value. I've tried this with binding SelectedItem, but I get exceptions. I switched to using SelectedItemIndex binding, and using a value like -1 would throw an exception as the control is trying to get the value at index -1 from the source list. Please advise.
