This simple fix worked for me. Change the line at the top of your Styles.xml file to look like this:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.NoActionBar">

To replace the line that looked like this:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.DarkActionBar">

All you need do is change the word "Dark" to "No" in front of ActionBar. Search "Theme.MaterialComponents" for a list of Material Components that you can use.

The better way to hide the ActionBar with Xamarin.Forms:

global::Xamarin.Forms.Forms.SetTitleBarVisibility(Xamarin.Forms.AndroidTitleBarVisibility.Never);

you can just hide it in your constructor

public partial class MyPage : ContentPage
{
    public MyPage()
    {
        NavigationPage.SetHasNavigationBar(this, false);
        InitializeComponent();            
    }        
}

Just found the solution parallel to @Pete. It seems that this is a bug under Xamarin.Forms at the moment.

I added this in my Styles.xml and set the theme to my Activity:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<resources> 
    <style name="NoActionBarTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light">
        <item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/invisible_action_bar_style</item>
    </style>
    <style name="invisible_action_bar_style" parent="android:Widget.Holo.ActionBar">
        <item name="android:height">0dp</item>
    </style>

</resources>
