Description

This PR removes the IVisualTreeElementProvidable interface and all related code as requested in issue #30295. The interface was originally designed to help search through the platform tree to locate corresponding IView elements, but it was never actually needed or used in practice.

Changes Made

  • Deleted src/Core/src/Core/IVisualTreeElementProvidable.cs interface file
  • Updated platform-specific classes to remove interface inheritance:
    • LayoutViewGroup (Android)
    • ContentViewGroup (Android)
    • MauiPanel (Windows)
    • MauiView (iOS)
  • Modified VisualTreeElementExtensions.GetVisualTreeElement() method to return null since the search logic relied on the removed interface
  • Removed the unused FindNextChild helper method

Impact

  • 145 lines of code removed, 7 lines added
  • No breaking changes to public APIs
  • Build compiles successfully across all platforms
  • Existing unit tests continue to pass

The removal of this unused interface simplifies the codebase and eliminates dead code that was never actually utilized in the visual tree search functionality.

Fixes #30295.
