Contributions summary:Iain primarily focused on modifying the `MvxExpandableTableViewSource` within the MvvmCross framework. Their initial commit exposed the `ItemSource` property to ensure updates to the `_isCollapsed` variable, which manages the expanded/collapsed state of table sections. This change was subsequently reverted, indicating an issue or need for adjustment. Later commits included merging branches related to the iOS support and modifications to the `MvxBaseViewController`, demonstrating activity in iOS-specific view management and support within the MvvmCross ecosystem.
