If I may ask, how would these converter public properties be set on an android project or iOS project?

It's been a while since I've last used MvvmCross, but I think you will need to manually register the converters as shown in the documentation: https://github.com/MvvmCros...

I didn't test it, but the following should work:

protected override FillValueConverters(IMvxValueConverterRegistry registry)
{
    base.FillValueConverters(registry);
    var onOffConverter = new BoolToTextConverter
    {
        TrueValue = "On",
        FalseValue = "Off"
    };
    registry.AddOrOverwrite("OnOffConverter", onOffConverter);
}

That is, you create an instance of the converter with desired property values and manually register it with a custom name that you can use in bindings.

To simplify the code, you could add a parameterized constructor or factory method and call it instead of using the initializer syntax.
