The IsVisible property is not working for Images or ImageButtons in Android

[FANMixco]

Description

I have an ImageButton in an app, I need to hide it or show it conditionally:

<ImageButton x:Name="previewImage"
	HeightRequest="48"
	WidthRequest="48"
	Aspect="AspectFill"
	Source="{Binding PreviewImageSource}"
	IsVisible="{Binding IsPreviewVisible}"
	Clicked="OnDeleteClicked"
	BackgroundColor="Transparent" />

The Source is working perfectly, but the image stays visible even if I set a static value in the IsVisible property:

private bool _isPreviewVisible;
public bool IsPreviewVisible
{
	get => _isPreviewVisible;
	set
	{
		_isPreviewVisible = value;
		OnPropertyChanged(nameof(IsPreviewVisible));
	}
}

public void UpdatePreviewImage()
{
	IsPreviewVisible = false;
	/*string folderPath = Path.Combine(FileSystem.AppDataDirectory, "Downloads");
	var imagePaths = Directory.GetFiles(folderPath, "*.jpg").ToList();

	if (imagePaths.Count > 0)
	{
		PreviewImageSource = imagePaths.First(); // Set the latest image
		IsPreviewVisible = true;
	}
	else
	{
		PreviewImageSource = null; // Clear the image source
		IsPreviewVisible = false; // Hide the button
	}*/
}

public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;

protected virtual void OnPropertyChanged(string propertyName)
{
	PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
}

The issue only happens with the Images or ImageButtons since I am binding also a button and works perfectly well:

<Button ImageSource="trash_can.png"
        WidthRequest="48"
        HeightRequest="48"
        Clicked="OnDeleteClicked"
        IsVisible="{Binding IsDeleteButtonVisible}"/>

Any idea why this is failing? Thanks.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Add an ImageButton or Image.
2. Bind the Visible property to false.

Hi I cannot replicate it

public class MainPageViewModel : System.ComponentModel.INotifyPropertyChanged
{
	private bool _isPreviewVisible;
	public bool IsPreviewVisible
	{
		get => _isPreviewVisible;
		set
		{
			_isPreviewVisible = value;
			OnPropertyChanged();
		}
	}

	private string _previewImageSource = "dotnet_bot.png";
	public string PreviewImageSource
	{
		get => _previewImageSource;
		set
		{
			_previewImageSource = value;
			OnPropertyChanged();
		}
	}

	public event System.ComponentModel.PropertyChangedEventHandler? PropertyChanged;

	protected void OnPropertyChanged([System.Runtime.CompilerServices.CallerMemberName] string? propertyName = null)
	{
		PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new System.ComponentModel.PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
	}

	public Command ToggleVisibilityCommand => new Command(() => IsPreviewVisible = !IsPreviewVisible);
}

Could you please attach a repo?
