New Project Won't Start: Stack walks are not supported on this platform.

FilipEkberg-1

I created a new Xamarin Forms project, for Android, and immediately when starting it I get: Stack walks are not supported on this platform.

Got the latest packages off nuget, still the same thing.

Any ideas?

I'm having same issue. Did you solve it?

Thanks in advance

I swapped over to Xamarin Studio and that seems to work, for now.

I noticed this too and logged it on bugzilla.

Were you guys running Visual Studio for Mac (with Mono 5.x)?

Can you please try calling the 3 parameter init, Init(Context, Bundle, Assembly) where assembly is the assembly with all your resources (normally hte assembly you called Init from)?

VictorHGarcia

Hello @TheRealJasonSmith I'm trying to invoke the method using 3 parameters, however, by checking this documentation, I'm not sure how to get the Assembly that contains all resources. https://developer.xamarin.com/api/type/System.Reflection.Assembly/

global::Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init(this, bundle, AssemblyName);

Assembly Name is coming from System.Reflection

I'm sharing a screenshot of the demo app.

Any suggestions?

Regards,
Victor

Hello @TheRealJasonSmith

Actually, by the help of my friend @JohnMiller I was able to get the Assembly, but even with that change I can say the the same error message is getting when running the app on the Android simulator.

using System;

using Android.App;
using Android.Content;
using Android.Content.PM;
using Android.Runtime;
using Android.Views;
using Android.Widget;
using Android.OS;
using System.Reflection;

namespace HelloAgain.Droid
{
    [Activity(Label = "HelloAgain.Droid", Icon = "@drawable/icon", Theme = "@style/MyTheme", MainLauncher = true, ConfigurationChanges = ConfigChanges.ScreenSize | ConfigChanges.Orientation)]
    public class MainActivity : global::Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Android.FormsAppCompatActivity
    {
        protected override void OnCreate(Bundle bundle)
        {
            TabLayoutResource = Resource.Layout.Tabbar;
            ToolbarResource = Resource.Layout.Toolbar;

            base.OnCreate(bundle);

            Assembly assem = typeof(MainActivity).Assembly;
            global::Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init(this, bundle, assem);

            LoadApplication(new App());
        }
    }
}

Any other idea that could help us?

Thanks in advance

I switched over to Mono 4.x.x instead of 5 and that seems to solve the problem as well.

Are you using Visual Studio on Windows? How were you able to coordinate that switch? Thanks
