Xamarin forms label positioning - xaml

Question

Newbie here. Am adding a label on the top of a page using XAML & Xamarin, but the label is too near the top of the page, so it's obscured by the iPad current time.
XAML code being used is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
x:Class="XamlSamples.HelloXamlPage"
Title="XAML + Code Page">
<StackLayout VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" BackgroundColor="#000000" Spacing="0" Padding="-300,-1,-300,29">
<Label Text="Text here"
Font="Large"
TextColor="White"
HorizontalOptions="Center"
VerticalOptions="Center"
Style="{DynamicResource TitleStyle}"/>
</StackLayout>
</ContentPage>

Answer 1

Take a look on you Stack Padding (Padding="-300,-1,-300,29") it's a little weird,
Also, you can add some layout with a padding before
<StackLayout VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" BackgroundColor="#000000" Spacing="0" Padding="-300,-1,-300,29">
<Grid Padding="20 "/>
<Label Text="Text here"
Font="Large"
TextColor="White"
HorizontalOptions="Center"
VerticalOptions="Center"
Style="{DynamicResource TitleStyle}"/>

Answer 2

Change your padding to
Padding="x, 20, y, z"
In iOS, the height of the status bar is 20 pixels and is included when determining the position on the page (meaning a y location of y is at the top of the status bar and similarly the page). Windows and Android do not include the height of the status bar when determining the location on the page (meaning a y location of 0 is at the bottom of the status bar). It should also be noted that in some situations the status bar may actually be 40 pixels tall (in a call from what I've read).
Suggested use for a cross-platform option is to do something like this:
< ContentPage.Padding >
<!-- set platform - specific padding
iOS needs an additional
20px top padding to account for
iPhone status bar -->
< OnPlatform x:TypeArguments ="Thickness"
iOS ="0, 20, 0, 0"
Android ="0, 0, 0, 0"
WinPhone ="0, 0, 0, 0" />
</ ContentPage.Padding >
Note: this padding is being added to your ContentPage tag rather than the StackLayout tag. Code retrieved from here.
