Xamarin.UITest... How do I get the value of a Xamarin Forms CheckBox using Xamarin.UITest REPL (iOS)?

Question

I have a UI test which attempts to check the state of a CheckBox. Whether it is checked or not.
On Android I have no problem. But on iOS I cant get it to work.

For a UISwitch I can use: app.Query(x => x.Marked("id").Invoke("isOn").Value<int>())[0]

But for CheckBoxes, it doesn't work. Any query returns "****".
I have tried invoking "isChecked' and a few other variations.
I have also tried casting to bool & string.

In the repl, the control is listed as: Xamarin_Forms_Platform_iOS_FormsCheckBox

All help is appreciated.

p.s. since there is no specific forum for ui tests, I have placed my question here... The tags are probably wrong too but I cant enter things like "UITest" & "iOS"
