I want to improve the performance of my Xamarin.Forms UWP application because it is very slow in release mode (verified by. NET native). Therefore, I use assembly-level XAMLC in the PCL project:
[assembly: XamlCompilation (XamlCompilationOptions.Compile)] namespace MyApp { }
but with this attribute I get a runtime error:
"Method not found: 'Void Xamarin.Forms.Xaml.Internals.SimpleValueTargetProvider..ctor (System.Object [])'."
According to this:
https://github.com/xamarin/Xamarin.Forms/blob/master/docs/Xamarin.Forms.Xaml/Xamarin.Forms.Xaml.Internals/SimpleValueTargetProvider.xml
The SimpleValueTargetProvider class has 2 versions:
- 1.5.0.0 - constructor with one parameter System.Object []
- 2.0.0.0 - constructor with 2 parameters System.Object [] and System.Object
I use Xamarin.Forms 2.3.3.163-pre3, so I use the second version in my project (when I go to SimpleValueTargetProvider in Xamarin.Forms.Xaml.Internals, I see a constructor with 2 parameters). As far as I understand, โsomethingโ still calls SimpleValueTargetProvider 1.5.0.0, but I have no idea what it is.
I removed all third-party components, but this did not help. I used Fusion Magazine to find out what happens, but thatโs all I get (to be honest, I donโt know if this is due to the problem I am facing):

Is this a bug in Xamarin.Forms or XamlCTask? Has anyone encountered this problem or knows how to fix it?
