Description

App shows two templates with different heights. the list have 10000 items.

<GridLayout>
  <CollectionView
    [items]="itemService.items()"
    [itemTemplateSelector]="templateSelector"
  >
    <ng-template cvTemplateKey="header" let-item="item">
      <StackLayout class="bg-sky-100">
        <Label [text]="item.name" class="text-lg text-green-400 p-4"></Label>
      </StackLayout>
    </ng-template>

    <ng-template cvTemplateKey="item" let-item="item">
      <StackLayout
        [nsRouterLink]="['/item', item.id]"
        class="border-b-indigo border-b-2"
      >
        <Label [text]="item.name" class="text-lg text-gray-500 p-4"></Label>
        <Label [text]="item.role" class="text-lg text-gray-400 p-4"></Label>
      </StackLayout>
    </ng-template>
  </CollectionView>
</GridLayout>

It takes about 10s before the list can be scrolled in iOS. But It scrolls smoothly in android.

Research direction

Start by running the attached demo.zip on iOS and comparing its behavior with Android, using the two variable-height templates and 10,000 items described in the issue. The work is done when the list becomes scrollable without the reported 10-second delay while preserving both templates and smooth scrolling.
