Hello Shalin,

Could you confirm that you're using Calendar for Xamarin.Forms control? I am asking as the selected product is Calendar for Xamarin.Android and you've mentioned iphone device.

Yes, i am using xamarin forms. For android it seems working fine. Not iOS

hi,

1) Do we have any work around to fix this ? using renderers

2) or hard coding start of week ?

[Shalin]

well i have an answer, using renderer

public class WeekCalendarRenderer : CalendarRenderer
    {
        protected override void OnElementChanged (ElementChangedEventArgs<RadCalendar> e)
        {
            base.OnElementChanged(e);
            if (Control?.Calendar != null && Element != null)
            {
                NSCalendar calendar = new NSCalendar(NSCalendarType.Gregorian);
                calendar.Locale = NSLocale.CurrentLocale;

                this.Control.Calendar = calendar;
            }
        }
    }

Hi Shalin,

Thank you for the update.  Indeed, the issue could be work-arounded with renderer like this.
