Fixes: #20094
Context: https://github.com/AdamEssenmacher/iOSModalLeak.Maui
In the above sample, you can see that modal
Page
's on iOS or Catalyst live forever after they are dismissed. I was able to reproduce this issue in a device test.After some investigation, the
ContainerViewController
appears to have a cycle:ContainerViewController
->IElement? _view;
->PageHandler
->ContainerViewController
After 7d0af63 was merged, this works fine when using
NavigationPage
, but not when using modals.It appears after solving the cycle, the
ContainerViewController
goes away as well as thePageHandler
and thePage
.
