[Xamarin.Forms] Problem loading SVG image on iOS

I’m using the latest prerelease available Xamarin.FFImageLoading.Svg.Forms 2.2.10-pre-390 together with Xamarin.Forms 2.3.4.231.

Here is the XAML code used:

<?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:ffimageloadingsvg="clr-namespace:FFImageLoading.Svg.Forms;assembly=FFImageLoading.Svg.Forms"
    x:Class="App.Views.MainPage">
    <ContentPage.Content>
        <ffimageloadingsvg:SvgCachedImage
                        WidthRequest="200"
                        HeightRequest="200"
                        Source="http://s.cdpn.io/3/kiwi.svg"/>
    </ContentPage.Content>
</ContentPage>

Error:

Xamarin.Forms.Xaml.XamlParseException: Position 13:14. Type ffimageloadingsvg:SvgCachedImage not found in xmlns clr-namespace:FFImageLoading.Svg.Forms;assembly=FFImageLoading.Svg.Forms

To solve the problem here it was necessary to reference the SvgCachedImage assembly in the AppDelegate:

var svgAssembly = typeof(SvgCachedImage).GetTypeInfo().Assembly;
CachedImageRenderer.Init();

The same was not needed on Android. Everything worked as expected.

Created a bug into Xamarin bug tracking system as the Release build is different than the Debug one. https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=60653

I solved it by adding FFImageLoading.Svg.Forms.SvgCachedImage.Init(); In any case, since “var ignore = typeof(FFImageLoading.Svg.Forms.SvgCachedImage);” was present, I think there is still an issue in the Release build in Xamarin.
