Would you mind to tell me more about how to use it. Something likes below:

1. where should I put this code?
2. Do we do anything in PCL?
3. what should we do in XAML?

@RayCheung0616 First, read this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/xamarin-forms/app-fundamentals/effects/creating

This is the platform specific (iOS) implementation of the Effect. You can put it anywhere in your .iOS project. If you use PCL/netstandard, then you‘ll need a RoutingEffect and use ResolutionGroupName and ExportEffect attributes, as described in the docs link above.

Thank you help, now I can use you NumericEntryAccessoryViewEffect.cs in iOS

@RayCheung0616 good to hear that :-)
