Render to Xamarin iOS Image view

Given the following Xamarin iOS MainPage.xaml (parts omitted):

<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
             x:Class="RenderPDF.MainPage">
            
  <!-- parts omitted -->

  <Image x:Name="image"
         Source="Default.png"
         Aspect="AspectFill"
         VerticalOptions="EndAndExpand" />

</ContentPage>

The following MainPage partial class (code omitted), renders the first page of embedded resource tiger.pdf to the Image above:

public partial class MainPage : ContentPage

  private Stream imageStream;
  private Stream pdfStream;

public MainPage()

      }
    }

    imageStream.Position = 0;
    return ImageSource.FromStream(() => imageStream);
