iOS: PushPopupAsync() crashes in Release mode

[iupchris10]

PushPopupAsync() works fine in Debug mode, both in the simulator and on the device.

However, when I change the app to "Release" mode, and deploy to a device, attempting to display a popup crashes the app.

I am including a sample project via Dropbox demonstrating this issue. Open the solution, switch the build to "Release" and deploy to a device, then tap the "Show Popup" button to crash.

Sample project:

My suspicion is that the Xamarin Linker is stripping some code out at run-time, but I can't be sure.

@iupchris10 Hey. This is an Android or ios?

[iupchris10]

Sorry - iOS only.

[rotorgames]

@iupchris10 Say you use Rg.Plugins.Popup.IOS.Popup.Init (); in AppDelegate?

Write me please this information.
Xamarin.IOS Version
Xamarin Studion or Visual Studion version
IOS SDK version
Device ios version.

Xamarin Forms 2.0.0.6482
Xaramin iOS 9.4.1.25
Xamarin Studio 5.10.2
iOS SDK 9.2
Device iPhone 6 Plus (9.2.1)

[iupchris10]

Yes I have:
Rg.Plugins.Popup.IOS.Popup.Init(); // Init Popup

@iupchris10 Try to include Use the LLVM optimizing compiler in release mode.

[iupchris10]

Okay I will try that.

This is interesting... I'm able to get this error debugging on the device if I change the linker behavior to "Link All". It seems like it's not preserving the default constructor...

[iupchris10]

Enabling LLVM optimizer does not fix the issue, unfortunately.

Maybe it's different errors.

I already knew about this error, but could not repeat it.

If I have made changes in a separate branch on github, you can test on your computer?

@iupchris10 Test this pre-release version, and let me know the results. Thank you.

[iupchris10]

Yes, I will give this a try. Thanks.

@iupchris10 sorry, I'm not very good in speaking English. The issue is resolved or not ?

[iupchris10]

No. I have yet to try the download.

[rotorgames]

@iupchris10 Good. As soon as you will have the results, write to me. Thank you.

[iupchris10]

I tested on a device in "Release" mode. It does not crash anymore. The bug appears to be fixed. :) 👍

[rotorgames]

Thank you very much for your help. I released the stable release to fix this error. You can be updated to v0.0.15. Thank you.
