Can't keep a real layout

in Xamarin.iOS

Hi, i'm currently trying to test an app on a real device but when i put the app on this device all the layout is wrong.
Let me explain a little better:
i developed and designed the app within the emulator, and as visual i choose an iPhone x( because i though was awful to design and get that to work with the notch), and on the simulator everything is just fine, but, when i put everything on a real device( this device is an iPhone 8, i think is this the issue) everything is messed up, buttons doesn't works, labels and images all messed up, but the load of the code is fine, how can i develop the same app for more than one model? I need to do something with the layout or i need to cheat and do a different release for every device, i'm currently using the storyboard cause i feel better and i'm still a noob in this field(develop) so nothing in XAML

    i think i solved it, is basically that i need to create a different app/release for every display density, in case of apple 8+\X\8\SE\4s, is the same thing that android developer do, they publish a different app for different display density, if someone stuck as me want to study this thing better just search:
    Multiple APK Android Developer

    here is where i find the idea of using this (let me call this way) "Theory" :

    but if possible i 'd like to know if there is a better way to do this

    Are you using Auto Layout? If not, you should read up on how to use that. It will help your app be responsive to all screen sizes: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/ios/user-interface/designer/designer-auto-layout

    yeah, i'm using auto layout and constraint, but is all messed up when i try to change in the storyboard view or if i try in a different device
