[MAUI] - iOS SearchBar ignores WidthRequest and HeightRequest property values

[prakashKannanSf3972]

Description

The SearchBar control fails to respect explicitly defined Height and Width property values.

Expected Behavior:

• SearchBar should render with the dimensions specified through Height and Width properties
• The control should maintain these defined dimensions regardless of available container space

Android

Actual Behavior:

• SearchBar expands to fill the entire available space in its container
• Explicitly set Height and Width properties are ignored - The control always defaults to the maximum available dimensions

iOS

Mac

Steps to Reproduce

Add the following XAML code

<StackLayout>
       <VerticalStackLayout
           Padding="30,0"
           Spacing="25">
           <SearchBar 
                      Placeholder="Search..."
                      WidthRequest="200"/>
       </VerticalStackLayout>

       <HorizontalStackLayout>
           <SearchBar 
                      Placeholder="Search..."
                      HeightRequest="200"/>
       </HorizontalStackLayout>
</StackLayout>

Observe that:

• The first SearchBar ignores the WidthRequest="200" and spans the full width
• The second SearchBar ignores the HeightRequest="200" and maintains default height

I'm getting this too. Is there are workaround for now @prakashKannanSf3972 ?

Actually if I do this, it works:

      <HorizontalStackLayout WidthRequest="170">
          <SearchBar 
            Text=""
          />
      </HorizontalStackLayout>
