Some random thoughts that might help ...

To pre-load a line feed character into your text, use \n

There is also  label component to try, if you just need output and not input.

Do as Abraham says, use \n. You will not see multiple lines in your designer, but when you run the app on your phone, \n will be interpreted as a new-line.

But on your phone (using the companion for testing) it will show this:

And, using a button or other event, you can set multiline text like this:
