Descripción
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
No, this is about hardening the API.
Exposing low-level types like `IntPtr` as `public` in user-facing code is bad practice for an interop library like this. It causes excessive, unnecessary information and APIs being exposed to users, which could lead to confusion and error-prone code being made with it.
---
**Describe the solution you'd like**
Refactor client-facing low-level members, constructors, etc. to be `internal` (or `protected internal` if necessary). For example, `NSArray` has a `public` constructor with an `IntPtr` parameter. Users do not need to know about this, and makes the API messier for those trying to simply interface with it. Using an `AssemblyInfo.cs` can allow `internal` members to be available to other Apple assemblies without having to expose unnecessary data to users.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
There are none.

Example `AssemblyInfo.cs` file:
```csharp
using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;
[assembly: InternalsVisibleTo("Apple.Core.Tests")]
