Bug in the tutorial: How to change the space between views in a StackLayout

Question

In this part of the training I found an error.
When the tutorial explain "How to change the space between views in a StackLayout" it needs to add for example the HeightRequest or WidthRequest depending the Orientation of the StackLayout.

If I run the project with these lines in the MainPage.xaml it doesn't show the views:
<StackLayout Spacing="30">

<BoxView Color="Silver" />

<BoxView Color="Blue" />

<BoxView Color="Gray" />

</StackLayout>
