It would be worth being explicit that we're talking about the spinner visibility here. Depending on the implementation, it would be possible to have a widget that is "visible" in the sense of Toga's drawing instructions, but that that displays no content because the spinner is hidden. iOS got caught on this because spinner visibility and widget visibility are treated as the same thing; but that's no necessarily the same.

There's already a probe for evaluating visibility; spinner visibility isn't necessarily the same thing.

(edit) not sure what happened... this got submitted before I finished writing the comment.

Hey @freakboy3742 ! I will have a look deeper into this - it looks like it is possible to do in iOS and macOS but I still need to figure out for the Linux and Windows implementations how it would be done

Winforms doesn't have an ActivityIndicator, so the solution there will be easy :-)

As for Linux - if we can verify that the GTK widget behaves as expected (i.e., hidden and running are different properties, and a stopped indicator is defined as not visible, but not hidden), then it might be sufficient to just check the active property.
