Init not working under iOS

[ThomasKIT]

I am successfully using the plugin on Android, but with iOS it fails during initilization.

iOS 8.4: Should initialize before use on FinishedLaunching method of AppDelegate class. Example: CrossPushNotification.Initialize()

iOS 7.1: UIKit Consistency error: you are calling a UIKit method that can only be invoked from the UI thread.

Last point of entry before the exceptions occur: CrossPushNotification.Current.Register()

This is my AppDelegate FinishedLaunching:

    public override bool FinishedLaunching(UIApplication app, NSDictionary options)
    {
        global::Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init();

        CrossPushNotification.Initialize<CrossPushNotificationListener>();

        InitXLabsServices();
        ImageCircleRenderer.Init();
        LoadApplication(new KinsmenApp());

        return base.FinishedLaunching(app, options);
    }

Of course I did set up the Provisioning Profile and Push Notification Permission at the Developer Center.

How can I get more information about where it actually crashes inside the plugin?

Edit: I took a look at the plugin's source code and after using the following three lines directly it registered successfully, but this way I am not using the Plugin:

  UIUserNotificationType userNotificationTypes = UIUserNotificationType.Alert | UIUserNotificationType.Badge | UIUserNotificationType.Sound;
  UIUserNotificationSettings settings = UIUserNotificationSettings.GetSettingsForTypes(userNotificationTypes, null);
  UIApplication.SharedApplication.RegisterUserNotificationSettings(settings);

Could it be possible that the preprocessor directives aren't getting handled properly and therefore the wrong code gets executed?

if IOS

You should initialize the plugin after the LoadApplication call. On Aug 11, 2015 6:41 AM, "ThomasKIT" notifications@github.com wrote:

That leads to

  UIKit Consistency error: you are calling a UIKit method that can only be invoked from the UI thread.

Can you send the code where you are calling the register method? On Aug 11, 2015 11:17 AM, "ThomasKIT" notifications@github.com wrote:
