@ericsink Any ideas on this error?

[ericsink]

This could happen if there are old pre-2.0 versions of the SQLitePCLRaw packages still involved.

I think this could also happen if bundle_green is used instead of bundle_e_sqlite3, but that issue will be fixed in 2.0.2.

This should not happen with SQLitePCLRaw 2.0.1, and if it does, that's a new bug.

I don't remember if 2.0.0 had this bug or not, and I'm not in a place to definitively check right now.

Bottom line: Update SQLitePCLRaw to 2.0.1, make sure no pre-2.0 packages are still around, and see what happens.

@ericsink Thanks!
@dmsi-leo Please let us know if you are still hitting this problem after folowing Eric's advice.

@ajcvickers I use SQLitePCLRaw 2.0.1, and still have the same issue with Xamarin.iOS.

[ericsink]

I'll dig into this more closely. In the meantime, could you post the exact list of packages+versions you are using?

[ericsink]

Wait, never mind. I think I found the problem. And it's my fault. Fix pending.

[dmsi-leonidl]

Thanks for quick response.

Should we now wait for official Microsoft.Data.Sqlite Nuget package update that would include fixed SQLitePCLRaw or try manually install rebuilt package?

[ericsink]

As soon as possible, let's say sometime in the next few days, I will release a new version of SQLitePCLRaw which contains this fix. You should be able to simply update SQLitePCLRaw to that version.

[dmsi-leonidl]

I would give it a try as soon new version is available.

Thanks a lot Eric!

[ericsink]

I just pushed up version 2.0.2-pre20191018090318 to nuget.org, which contains a fix for this problem.

[ajcvickers]

Thanks @ericsink for your quick response, as always.
