Disk Caching Not Working

[barrysohl]

🐛 Bug Report

No matter what I try, I cannot get disk caching to work in my Xamarin Forms app. I have FadeAnimationEnabled turned on, with a long duration, so that I can easily see when images are cached vs not.

In memory caching is working great, no long fade-in on the second load.

But relaunch the app, and long fade, no caching.

Turn off WiFi, and then no images at all.

Expected behavior

Images should cache to disk and then load from cache after app relaunch or when offline.

Reproduction steps

Possibly relevant info:

• I have tried CacheType as both ALL and Disk
• I have CacheDuration set to 30 days
• I call both Init() and InitImageSourceHandler() after XF.Init() in AppDelegate (and equivalent on Android)
• Images are loaded from remote URL (Google Storage HTTPS)
• I use MonkeyCache for other local disk caching with no problems

Configuration

• Both iOS and Android
• FFImageLoading 2.4.11
• XF 4.7.0

Version: 2.4.11

Platform:

• [ ] :iphone: iOS
• [ ] :robot: Android
• [ ] :checkered_flag: WPF
• [ ] :earth_americas: UWP
• [ ] :apple: MacOS
• [ ] :tv: tvOS
• [x] :monkey: Xamarin.Forms

Anyone? I am still getting zero disk caching with FFImageLoading. What could I be doing wrong here?? Thanks in advance.

Anyone? Please?? I assume I am doing something wrong since I can't believe such a popular library just fundamentally doesn't work. I may have to resort to writing my own caching :(
