Unwanted Top and Bottom Spacing in .NET MAUI iOS Simulator

[Piyush1430]

Description

Problem
When running my .NET MAUI application on an iOS simulator (connected through Mac pairing), the app displays with unexpected blank spaces at the top and bottom of the screen. This issue occurs specifically on the iOS simulator despite successful connection and running of the simulator.
Environment

.NET MAUI (targeting net8.0)
macOS with Windows pairing
iOS Simulator
Visual Studio

What I've Tried

Set Shell.NavBarIsVisible="False" and NavigationPage.HasNavigationBar="False"
Added UIRequiresFullScreen in Info.plist
Confirmed proper simulator connection and running state

Expected Behavior
The app should fill the entire screen without any unwanted spacing at the top or bottom.
Actual Behavior
The app displays with unnecessary blank spaces at the top and bottom of the screen in the iOS simulator.
