  Style="{StaticResource RoundFAB}"
  Command="{Binding NewItemCommandAsync}"		
  VerticalOptions="End"
  HorizontalOptions="End"
  Margin="25"/>

Sample Style (same as Button)

<Style x:Key="RoundFAB" TargetType="fab:FloatingActionButton">
    <Setter Property="TextColor" Value="White"></Setter>
    <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="30"></Setter>
    <Setter Property="WidthRequest" Value="56"></Setter>

                </VisualState>
                <VisualState x:Name="Disabled">

  • modify AppDelegate.cs and add Sharpnado.Shades.iOS.iOSShadowsRenderer.Initialize();

    public override bool FinishedLaunching(UIApplication app, NSDictionary options)

    protected override void OnLaunched(LaunchActivatedEventArgs e)
    {
        ...
        global::Xamarin.Forms.Forms.SetFlags("Shell_UWP_Experimental");
        var rendererAssemblies = new[] { typeof(UWPShadowsRenderer).GetTypeInfo().Assembly };
