Couldn't get it to work on Android with Xamarin Forms

🐛 Bug Report

I’ve created a new Xamarin Forms project from Scratch, using latest Xamarin Forms 3.4 and .net standard 2.0.3. Animation works fine on iOS, but is not shown on Android. Might be related to #202 but I don’t have problems with iOS. I’ve attached a sample app: LottieTest.zip

Expected behavior

Animation should be shown on Android

Reproduction steps

1. Create new Xamarin Forms Project
2. Add Lottie to project
3. Add “LottieLogo1.json” to “Assets”-Folder in Android and “Resources” Folder on iOS.
4. Update Mainpage.xaml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ContentPage 
    xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms" 
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml" 
    xmlns:lottie="clr-namespace:Lottie.Forms;assembly=Lottie.Forms"
    x:Class="LottieTest.MainPage2">
    <ContentPage.Content>
        <StackLayout BackgroundColor="White">
            <lottie:AnimationView 
                x:Name="animationView" 
                Animation="LottieLogo1.json" 
                Loop="true"
                AutoPlay="true"
                VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand" 
                HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" />
        </StackLayout>
    </ContentPage.Content>
</ContentPage>

I’ve also tried ImageAssetsFolder="Assets" for testing but no changes.

Configuration

Version: 2.7.0

Platform:

• 🤖 Android
• 🐒 Xamarin.Forms

If it helps anybody, I managed to get it working by setting the Target Android Version to 10.0

Just make sure you clean build it, uninstall it from the device and publish it fresh if it doesn’t work the first time.

@Calinciurariu hateful comments that don’t add value to the conversation should be closed. Just as your comment “instead of coming with a fix” is very insulting. Why don’t you open a PR yourself? Why don’t you pay to fix it?
