Try adding a reference to the Win2D.uwp nuget package. Thanks!

[toomasz]

@samhouts Thanks for the tip, i have installed that package but now im getting another exception:

{System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80004005): Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.
   at Xamarin.Forms.Platform.UWP.TaskExtensions.<>c.<WatchForError>b__2_1(Object e)
   at System.Threading.WinRTSynchronizationContextBase.Invoker.InvokeCore()}

Not sure if thats releated

[samhouts]

@toomasz What version of UWP are you targeting?

[toomasz]

@samhouts 6.2.2, but Im not sure. Take a look at my nuget:

[samhouts]

@toomasz Right click on the UWP project and go to Properties, and look at the application tab. What does it say you're targeting?

[toomasz]

@samhouts Then I'm targetting Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (10.0; Build 16299) as well

[dansiegel]

@samhouts I'm actually running into this same issue as well on a project using the latest 3.6 preview. I'm targeting 17134 with a min version 16299.

When I install the Win2D.uwp package I get the following exception.

The "Win2DIsPlatformTooOld" task failed unexpectedly.
System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: input

[Gravemind2401]

I just had this issue after updating from XF 3.5 SR1 to XF 3.6 RC4.
The Win2D package was not installed automatically as part of updating to XF 3.6 - is this expected?
After installing the Win2D nuget package I found that it targets UWP 17134 so I also had to update my targets in the project file.
Like @toomasz I was also targeting UWP 16299, but changing the target to 17763 (min version set to 17134) this resolved the issue.

[tualatin]

I upgrade Xamarin.Forms 3.5.xx to 3.6.xx since I get the same error message for my UWP project.
I did a downgrade to XF 3.5.xx

[MagicAndre1981]

I have the same issue:

So the NuGet update to Xamarin.Forms 3.6.0.220655 was a mistake?

[MagicAndre1981]

@toomasz @dansiegel change MinVersion to 17134 or add <DisableWin2DPlatformCheck>true</DisableWin2DPlatformCheck> to your csproj.

I had the same issue.

[MagicAndre1981]

I've added the Win2D.uwp nuget package and the app still runs on Build 16299 with true added to csproj to skip the 17134 minimum version.

[MarkusSchmidtPro]

Could not find Windows Runtime type 'Microsoft.Graphics.Canvas.UI.Xaml.CanvasImageSource'.
Same issue here, introduced with XForms 3.6. - doesn't work.
Going back to XForms 3.5.0.169047, clean solution, build, fine.
It is related to ImageSourceExtension

   string resourceName = thisAssembly.GetName().Name + "." + this.Source;
            var imageSource = ImageSource.FromResource(resourceName); 

used in a blank app:

<ContentPage.Content>
       <StackLayout>
           <Label Text="Welcome to Xamarin.Forms!"/>
           <Image Source="{blank:ImageResource logo.png}"></Image>
       </StackLayout>
   </ContentPage.Content>

Crash with 3.6, fine with 3.5

[anders9ustafsson]

@Gravemind2401 @MagicAndre1981 An alternative to ignoring the Windows SDK version check is to install an earlier version of the win2d.uwp package. 1.22.0 does not require Windows SDK to be at build 17134 or higher.

[AlexF12004Roma]

Same Error Here, crash in 3.6 not in 3.5.
Image Source seems the problem

[MagicAndre1981]

@AlexF12004Roma

install win2d.uwp package and add

<DisableWin2DPlatformCheck>true</DisableWin2DPlatformCheck> to your csproj.

[mnazers734]

We also experienced this issue when updating to V3.6. Installing win2d.uwp V1.22 seems to have resolved the issue.

[nickrandolph]

If Win2D.uwp is a dependency, why is it not added as a UWP dependency for XF?
@davidortinau this is the type of issue I keep pointing out to you and the XF team. And I'm commenting because I ran into exact same issue after upgrading my OSS project to v3.6; had to google the answer; and now disappointed that this issue is closed.
There are a bunch of status changes but no post back here as to why this couldn't be fixed in v3.6?

[samhouts]

@nickrandolph It will be fixed in 3.6.0 SR1. #5475 resolves the issue, and it's targeting the 3.6.0 branch. Thanks!

[nickrandolph]

@samhouts thanks for that - it's really useful when closing issues like this if the team could be clearer about why it's closed. Following the change of status above it's really hard to see that this issue had actually been resolved for both v4 and v3.6 as the last status change was in relation to v4. I'd completely missed the reference to #5475 as it was much earlier in the history.

[dotMorten]

Also why was this dependency added? There's no precedence like this for adding 3rd party dependencies here and forcing it on everyone.

[samhouts]

@nickrandolph It says

samhouts closed this in c4585a7 2 days ago

You can use the commit to see what branches it falls in :)

[samhouts]

@dotMorten It's not 3rd party. It's Microsoft. https://www.nuget.org/packages/Win2D.uwp ;)

It was added to support FontImageSource on UWP. #4817

[nickrandolph]

@samhouts it wasn't originally clear from the commit as the branch history wasn't obvious. It's clear now that the SR release has gone out. Thanks for the quick fix on this one.

[MagicAndre1981]

@nickrandolph it is now fixed with Xamarin.Forms 3.6.0.264807 (3.6.0 Service Release 1)

[dotMorten]

This dependency breaks ARM64 support, as that isn't part of the Win2D package.

[MagicAndre1981]

I still notice one small thing. When I capture .net ETW data for provider Microsoft-Windows-DotNETRuntime with Exception keyword, I see a System.IO.FileNotFoundException "Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Graphics.Canvas, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'. Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden." but the app works and I see the Microsoft.Graphics.Canvas.dll next to the app in deployment folder (%localappdata%\DeploymentFiles\APPNAMEVS.Debug_x86USERNAME).

Anyone else here who uses ETW to trace UWP apps and has this too?
