I am working with .NET MAUI (.NET 7) and show the App in iOS-Simulator for iOS 16.2

Currently, I am wondering why I do not see anything to close a Keyboard when I enter something to an Entry. Isn't there any Close-Button for the Keyboard on iOS or am I missing something? What is the philosophy there on iOS?

There are two ways to add a close button to your keyboard.

The first way is to set the close style for the ReturnType of the Ertry tag, which will replace the return key with the done key as shown in the following image, you can refer to Customize the return key for details.

The second way is to add a close button on top of the keyboard using customize control with handlers, as shown in the following image, you can refer to MAUI-iOS-Keyboard-Done-Button for detailed steps.

    I tried the last solution as I think this could be more natural for a user. What I can see right now is just the small space with the "Done"-Button, but no Keyboard when I click in any of my Entrys. When I right-click on an Entry in my iOS-Simulator and explictly Show the Keyboard it shows up. When using the first approach with ReturnType="Done", I can't see the "done"-Label in case of a Numeric Keyboard. Are both observations normal?

    Additionally, I have the issue that even when I am in a different language the English it is still „Done“ on the label
