For Ios there is one plugin. You can use that. The link is Here.

For Andorid you have to just set below code in MainActivity after LoadApplication(new App()) method.

App.Current.On

Updated answer for iOS :

For IOS you can use the following custom renderer to solve the keyboard overlapping issue. And please removed the keyboardoverlap nuget package from the project.

using System;
using UIKit;
using Xamarin.Forms;
using Xamarin.Forms.Platform.iOS;
using HBIClientFacingApp;
using HBIClientFacingApp.iOS;

[assembly:ExportRenderer( typeof(CustomEditor), typeof(CustomEditorRenderer))]
namespace YourNameSpace.iOS
{
    public class CustomEditorRenderer: EditorRenderer
    {
        public ChatEntryRenderer()
        {   
            UIKeyboard.Notifications.ObserveWillShow ((sender, args) => {

                if (Element != null)
                {
                    Element.Margin = new Thickness(0,0,0, args.FrameEnd.Height); //push the entry up to keyboard height when keyboard is activated
                }
            });

            UIKeyboard.Notifications.ObserveWillHide ((sender, args) => {

                if (Element != null)
                {
                       Element.Margin = new Thickness(0); //set the margins to zero when keyboard is dismissed
                }

            }); 
        }
    }
}
