How to Auto Send crash logs to HokeyApp in Xamarin.iOS with extra information?

I am using Hockeyapp to log crashes in my Xamarin application.
For Android I used this code to auto submit crashes with little extra info:
Inside MainActivity OnCreate method:

CrashManager.Register(this, "APP_ID", new CustomCrashListener());

CustomCrashListener: 

public class CustomCrashListener : CrashManagerListener
{
    public override bool ShouldAutoUploadCrashes()
    {
        return true;
    }

    public override string UserID => "UserID recovered from settings.";
    public override string Contact => "More info from settings.";
    public override string Description => "Custom Description";
}

Now for the iOS I have found this to auto upload crashes:

Inside AppDelegate: 

BITHockeyManager manager = BITHockeyManager.SharedHockeyManager;
manager.Configure("APP_ID");
manager.CrashManager.CrashManagerStatus = BITCrashManagerStatus.AutoSend;
manager.StartManager();
manager.Authenticator.AuthenticateInstallation();

My problem is that I can't find something similar to Android in iOS to send some extra little information with the auto send of crash logs, is there any way to do that in iOS?

On your UIApplicationDelegate class, add the IBITHockeyManagerDelegate and/or IBITCrashManagerDelegate.

UIApplicationDelegate Example:

[Register("AppDelegate")]
public class AppDelegate : UIApplicationDelegate, IBITHockeyManagerDelegate, IBITCrashManagerDelegate

Assign it to your BITHockeyManager.Delegate:

var hockeyManager = BITHockeyManager.SharedHockeyManager;
hockeyManager.Delegate = (HockeyApp.iOS.BITHockeyManagerDelegate)(IBITHockeyManagerDelegate)this;

Implement which extra info methods you need:

// From IBITHockeyManagerDelegate
[Export("userIDForHockeyManager:componentManager:")]
public string UserIdForHockeyManager(BITHockeyManager hockeyManager, BITHockeyBaseManager componentManager)
{
    return "sushihangover";
}

[Export("userNameForHockeyManager:componentManager:")]
public string UserNameForHockeyManager(BITHockeyManager hockeyManager, BITHockeyBaseManager componentManager)
{
    return "Sushi Hangover";
}

[Export("userEmailForHockeyManager:componentManager:")]
public string UserEmailForHockeyManager(BITHockeyManager hockeyManager, BITHockeyBaseManager componentManager)
{
    return "[email protected]";
}

// From IBITCrashManagerDelegate
[Export("applicationLogForCrashManager:")]
public string ApplicationLogForCrashManager(BITCrashManager crashManager)
{
    return "StackOverflow rocks...";
}
