Type input:CheckBox not found in xmlns clr-namespace:Plugin.InputKit.Shared.Controls;assembly=Plugin.InputKit on iOS

Getting strange run-time exceptions on iOS as follows:

Xamarin.Forms.Xaml.XamlParseException: Position 98:34. Type input:CheckBox not found in xmlns clr-namespace:Plugin.InputKit.Shared.Controls;assembly=Plugin.InputKit

Xaml code below in shared .Net 2.0 library works fine when running on Android:

xmlns:input="clr-namespace:Plugin.InputKit.Shared.Controls;assembly=Plugin.InputKit"

<DataTemplate> <ViewCell> <Grid Margin="0,0,0,12"> <input:CheckBox Text="{Binding Name}" Type="Check" IsChecked="{Binding IsChecked}" BoxBackgroundColor="{StaticResource bgCheckBoxColor}" Color="{StaticResource fgLabelColor}" TextColor="{StaticResource fgLabelColor}"/> </Grid> </ViewCell> </DataTemplate>

Nuget Xamarin.Forms.InputKit package installed across all projects in solution including on the Xamarin.iOS project.

My suspicion is that the type might be getting linked out by the compiler?

Expected behavior No run-time exception.

Smartphone:

• Device: iPhone6
• OS: iOS 12.1.3

Additional context Xamarin.Forms.InputKit v2.3.8 and Xamarin.Forms 3.3.0.912540 Xamarin.iOS - 12.2.1.12

@SandipAhluwalia You are Right. I’ve just tried Xamarin Forms 3.2.x project. Linker doesn’t get ios library. XF 3.4x.x+ versions works fine but lower versions you’ll need Init like that until ı’ve update and add Init method:

Unfortunately the claim that

No more Init(); methods for your each platform !

in https://github.com/enisn/Xamarin.Forms.InputKit/wiki/Getting-Started seems to be untrue for at least iOS as I resolved the above issue by adding the following line of code in the FinishedLaunching override to stop the compiler linking out the library:

double fontSize = CheckBox.GlobalSetting.FontSize;

@SandipAhluwalia Does problem continue at v3.0.0 with new Init() methods. (after following new set-up)
