Label Overlapped by Android Status Bar When Using SafeAreaEdges="Container" in .NET MAUI

[amitfinova-ai]

Description

In my .NET MAUI app targeting Android, the top Label on a ContentPage is overlapped by the status bar. I have set SafeAreaEdges="Container" and hidden the navigation bar (Shell.NavBarIsVisible="False"), but the content does not respect the safe area at the top.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new .NET MAUI project.
2. Use the following XAML for a page:

<ContentPage
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2021/maui"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
    x:Class="MauiSafeAreaRepro.SignOutPage"
    SafeAreaEdges="Container"
    Shell.NavBarIsVisible="False">

    <VerticalStackLayout Padding="20" Spacing="20">
        <Label Text="SignOut / Session Expiry Page" FontSize="24"/>
        <Button Text="Back to Main" Clicked="OnBackClicked"/>
    </VerticalStackLayout>
</ContentPage>

3. Run the app on an Android device.

Expected Behavior
The content should be padded so that it does not overlap with the Android status bar.
