### Issue Description
On DeveloperBalance , unable to open task using keyboard navigation on
windows platform

### RootCause 
On DeveloperBalance ,TaskList is displayed using VerticalStackLayout
with BindableLayout, creates layout elements, which are not focusable.
On Windows, keyboard navigation works automatically only for controls,
so individual items cannot receive keyboard focus.

### Description of Change
- Replaced VerticalStackLayout with CollectionView, with navigation now
handled through the SelectionChanged event
- The previous implementation used SfEffectsView, which was intercepting
touch interactions on macOS and preventing item selection. Since the
highlight effect on interaction is now managed through CollectionView
selection highlight

### Issues Fixed
Fixes #30787 

### Tested the behaviour on the following platforms
- [x] Android
- [x] Windows
- [x] iOS
- [x] Mac
