How to remove the default Edit Icons in each cell in Xamarin iOS

Question

How to remove the default Edit Icons in each cell in Xamarin iOS ? I want the cells to be in Edit Mode always but without the 3lined symbol appearing on the right side of each cell...

By default it won't work(using straight forward) you need to subclass the UITableViewCell. After changes your customization, the animation is not smooth behaviour — Prasanth, Jun 11 '20 at 12:46

It is almost impossible. Here is a hacky solution. I converted it from oc to C#.

public override void SetEditing(bool editing, bool animated)
{
    base.SetEditing(editing, animated);

    if (editing)
    {
        foreach(var view in this.Subviews)
        {
            if(view.Class.Name is "Reorder")
            {
                foreach (var subview in view.Subviews)
                {
                    ((UIImageView)subview).Image = UIImage.FromFile("yourimage.png");
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

However, the solution may be broken at any time when Apple changes the hierarchy of the cell, so I don't suggest you use this way.
