First tip: Get rid of this function...
 
   internal static void Anchor(this UIView uIView, NSLayoutYAxisAnchor top = null, NSLayoutXAxisAnchor leading = null, NSLayoutYAxisAnchor bottom = null, NSLayoutXAxisAnchor trailing = null, UIEdgeInsets padding = default, CGSize size = default)
 
It only saves a few keystrokes, and causes problems if/when we need change constraints (the Constant, Priority, Activate/Deactivate, etc).
 
A better approach than adding a "Container" view and setting constraints on individual CardViews would be to use a Stack View.
 
In plain language...
 
1. Add scrollview to VC view
2. constrain all 4 sides to safe area
3. add a UIStackView to scroll view
4. constrain all 4 sides to scrollView.contentLayoutGuide (10-pts padding)
5. constrain stack view width to scrollView.frameLayoutGuide.widthAnchor -20 (10-pts on each side
6. create CardViews and add as arranged subviews of stackView
 
- on pull-to-refresh, either
 - update the content of the current CardViews
- or
 - remove each cardView from superView, and re-add new ones
 
So, if I understand the Xamarin / C# syntax correctly (there may be an error or two in here):
