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 correspondingIView
elements, but it was never actually needed or used in practice.Changes Made
src/Core/src/Core/IVisualTreeElementProvidable.cs
interface fileLayoutViewGroup
(Android)ContentViewGroup
(Android)MauiPanel
(Windows)MauiView
(iOS)VisualTreeElementExtensions.GetVisualTreeElement()
method to return null since the search logic relied on the removed interfaceFindNextChild
helper methodImpact
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.
