new Xamarin.Forms.ExportEffectAttribute : Type * string -> Xamarin.Forms.ExportEffectAttribute

[assembly: ResolutionGroupName ("com.YourCompany")]
[assembly: ExportEffect (typeof (ShadowEffect), "ShadowEffect")]

Then the code below will add the effect to a button:

var button = new Button { Text = "I have a shadow" };
button.Effects.Add (Effect.Resolve ("com.YourCompany.ShadowEffect"));
