iOS - Picker does Not Resize Automatically After Selection

[Quaybe]

Description

With the Picker in iOS, the picker does not resize automatically after selection. If you select an item that is longer than the original value of the Picker box, it is cut off:

iOS:

Expectation:
The Picker box should resize accordingly to display the longer string. This is the behavior in Windows and Android, this issue only applies to iOS. Have not tested Mac.

Android:

Windows:

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create new .NET MAUI app
2. Add Picker anywhere on screen in XAML
3. Set Title to a short string such as "test"
4. Add items to Picker with longer strings such as "long string test". Picker XAML example:

<Picker x:Name="picker" Grid.Column="1" VerticalOptions="Center" HorizontalOptions="Center" HorizontalTextAlignment="Center" Title="Short">
	<Picker.ItemsSource>
		<x:Array Type="{x:Type x:String}">
			<x:String>Short</x:String>
			<x:String>TEST</x:String>
			<x:String>ACL</x:String>
			<x:String>Long String</x:String>
			<x:String>Even Longer String</x:String>
			<x:String>Howler Monkey</x:String>
			<x:String>Japanese Macaque</x:String>
		</x:Array>
	</Picker.ItemsSource>
</Picker>

6. Run app on iOS.
7. Select one of the longer items in the Picker, tap "done"
8. Notice that the Picker box was not resized to display the new, longer string.

Expectation:
The Picker box should resize accordingly to display the longer string. This is the behavior in Windows and Android, this issue only applies to iOS. Have not tested Mac.

Disable and enable the Picker every time the selection is changed, and it is forced to redraw to the correct size. This is my workaround currently for iOS.
