Description

Copied from 3 year old bugzilla bug: https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=28379#c3

Confirmed this is still an issue with Forms version 3.1.0.637273

With a TabbedPage as the main page, and having enough child pages of the TabbedPage so there is a "More" tab, tapping the "More" tab when a page from the "More" tab is already selected causes a crash with the following stack trace:

Native stacktrace:
critical: 
=================================================================
Got a SIGSEGV while executing native code. This usually indicates
a fatal error in the mono runtime or one of the native libraries 
used by your application.
=================================================================

This is only when each child page of the TabbedPage is wrapped in a NavigationPage.
Removing the NavigationPage wrapper for the child pages (specifically the child pages in the "More" tab) does resolve this issue.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Load attached test project and run to an iOS simulator or device.

2. Tap the "More" tab.

3. Select a page from the list.

4. Tap the "More" tab again.

Expected Behavior

The list of pages in the "More" tab will be displayed again

Actual Behavior

The app crashes with the above SIGSEV error

still happen on 4.0.0-pre1 :(

but embedding TabbedPage in a NavPage is an anti pattern on iOS, and we never supported that actively. Closing.

@StephaneDelcroix

Actually, the TabbedPage is not wrapped in a NavigationPage in the sample. I edited the description to remove where it says it is.

Sorry, when I moved this from bugzilla, I copied my original description and the original sample I used might have had the TabbedPage wrapped in a NavigationPage, but Jimmy updated the sample later and the sample attached here is Just a TabbedPage (no NavigationPage) with children wrapped in NavigationPages (which should be supported).

I just loaded the sample, verified TabbedPage is not in a NavigationPage, and that the issue still occurs.

So I suggest re-opening this issue, thanks.
