If you want to load gif image with UIImageView, I find one article that you can take a look:

If you try to create the gif using individual images, it will be easier, as you can see here. When you convert the native code from here to C#, you get this

UIImageView gifView = new UIImageView();
gifView.AnimationImages = new UIImage[] {
    UIImage.FromBundle("Image1.png"),
    UIImage.FromBundle("Image2.png"),
    UIImage.FromBundle("Image3.png"),
    UIImage.FromBundle("Image4.png")
};
gifView.AnimationRepeatCount = 0; // Repeat forever.
gifView.AnimationDuration = 1.0; // Every 1s.
gifView.StartAnimating();
gifView.View.Frame = new CoreGraphics.CGRect(0, 20, this.View.Bounds.Size.Width, 180); // size of the animation
this.View.AddSubview(gifView);
