HandlerChanging: clean up old native hooks
HandlerChanged: wire up the new native view

.NET MAUI tip 📱
Need platform-specific code without #if directives everywhere?
Use partial classes with .Platform.cs file naming:
MyService.cs (shared)
https://t.co/gCoisNvyNR.cs
MyService.iOS.cs
Clean separation. No conditional compilation clutter.

h.PlatformView.BackgroundTintList =
ColorStateList.ValueOf(Color.Transparent));
One line. Done.
