Editor in ListView ItemTemplate not resizing when typing on iOS

My ListView ItemTemplate contains an Editor with AutoSize="TextChanges".
On UWP and Android my ViewCell resizes properly when typing, but not on iOS.
I have tried multiple variations on container view (Grid, StackLayout, ContentView etc) but cannot find a solution for iOS that works.
Cell.ForceUpdateSize() is a no-go as it causes the editor to unfocus.

Any ideas on workaround? I'll report this as an iOS bug to the Xamarin team as well.

XAML that exhibits this behavior - works on Android, UWP but not iOS:

    <ListView HasUnevenRows="True">
        <ListView.ItemTemplate>
            <DataTemplate>
                <ViewCell>
                    <Grid VerticalOptions="Center">
                        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                            <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
                        </Grid.RowDefinitions>
                        <Editor AutoSize="TextChanges" Text="{Binding}" />
                    </Grid>
                </ViewCell>
            </DataTemplate>
        </ListView.ItemTemplate>
    </ListView>

    Bug reported to Xamarin team and verified.

    As a workaround I migrated to CollectionView which works flawlessly on iOS and Android in this respect, but is not fully supported on UWP.
    So I'm being forced to use parallel implementations using ListView and CollectionView. Hmpf.
