Plugin / Even Demo do not work in release mode on a device about rg.plugins.popup

[rotorgames]

@yhax Hello. Maybe problem in IOS Linker. You can turn SDK Linker on Dont Link. Try it, and say me if this will help. Thank You.

[yhax]

@rotorgames Hey, thanks for the fast reply. If I use Dont link, it works fine. Is there a way to get it working without this option?

[rotorgames]

@yhax Try turn SDK Linker on Link SDK assemblies only.

You add Popup.Init in AppDelegate?

[yhax]

@rotorgames Yes sir. Even if I run the demo from your code, without changing a single line of code, in release mode, it will fail on the device.

[rotorgames]

@yhax Crash only from Link all assemblies or Link SDK assemblies only also?

[yhax]

@rotorgames :

Link None = Everything works as expected.

Link SDK assemblies only = The page with the menu options opens. Click any one of them, app will crash.

Link ALL = App will crash on start up. It won't even get to the menu options.

[rotorgames]

@yhax Try add [assembly:LinkerSafe] in AssemblyInfo.cs projects Demo.iOS and Rg.Plugins.Popup.IOS.

[rotorgames]

@yhax And add [assembly: Preserve] in PopupNavigationIOS.cs

so:

[assembly: Dependency(typeof(PopupNavigationIOS))]
[assembly: Preserve]  // or [assembly: Preserve(typeof(PopupNavigationIOS))]
namespace Rg.Plugins.Popup.IOS.Impl
{
    class PopupNavigationIOS : IPopupNavigation
    {
    ....

@yhax Please, fork this branch and test. I add fix code in last commit. Maybe this will help.

[yhax]

@rotorgames thanks for looking at it so quick! will do! (unable to test until probably monday, will keep you posted!)

[rotorgames]

@yhax I think solved problem from SDK Linker. Please testing this branch from last commit. Problem must be fixed. Thank you!

P.S. Now you can use Link all assemblies in iOS and Android projects.

[yhax]

@rotorgames It is complaining that PreserveAttribute.cs is missing.

[rotorgames]

@yhax I'm sorry, i forgot remove PreserveAttribute.cs in csproject. Please Pull last commit in ios-linker

[rotorgames]

@yhax Last commit 3a3b5a0

[rotorgames]

@yhax I'm sorry for my bad english. I meant, try branch ios-linker now. I push two commit, that fix PreserveAttribute error.

[yhax]

No problem. I got the latest code, you are missing using Rg.Plugins.Popup; in Assembly.cs, in the Demo project. I tried deploying it to the device in release mode, with the same linker setting - Link SDK assemblies only, but it is still crashing on the device, when trying to open any of the demo pages. Are you able to run on your own device and if you are, does it work in release mode?

[rotorgames]

@yhax Unfortunately, i can not testing on real ios device. It's error appears only on real device or on simulator also, in mode release?

[yhax]

@rotorgames No problem. It will crash in the sim as well. Try using these settings:

[rotorgames]

@yhax I tested on:
Xamarin Studio 5.10.2
Mac OS 10.11.3
iPhoneSimulator iPad Retina iOS 9.2

It's all ok. Build compiled in release mode, and working on iPhoneSimulator SDK 9.2

Please, download project zip file, and testing on him. This project 100% working for me. Maybe trouble only on real device?

[rotorgames]

@yhax

[yhax]

@rotorgames the zip file you attached works perfectly in the simulator.. I'm not sure what is the difference with the version from the other branch?.. but still, even though it works in release, in the sim, it is still crashing on the device in release mode. Maybe someone else with a device can confirm for you?

[rotorgames]

@yhax I asked my friend tested on ios device 9.2. And he working.

What is your version Xamarin.IOS (MonoTouch), Xamarin Studio?

[rotorgames]

@yhax P.S. You tested nuget library in you project? Nuget version also have this problem?

[yhax]

@rotorgames I am using 9.2.1 on the device (ipad mini 2nd gen), running xamarin studio (5.10.2 build 56), on my mac which has El Capitan. Yes, I tested the nuget library and I have the same problem. If you are unable to reproduce it, I guess we can close it for now. I have implemented a different solution for now.

[rotorgames]

@yhax Ok. Thank you for issues. As soon as news, i write in this issues.

[rotorgames]

@yhax P.S. Update Xamarin.IOS version. Maybe problem in old version Xamarin.IOS.

[rotorgames]

@yhax Hey. It took a long time and finally the error has been eliminated. If you're still using my plugin can be updated to version v0.0.15. The error should be corrected. Thank you.
