Failed to register the needed AppCompat version of the XFGloss custom renderers

[malokuS]

Hi! First of all you have an awesome project ongoing!

Tried to implement XFGloss in my current project with these properties:

• Target = Android 7.1 (API level 25)
• Xamarin.Forms = v2.3.5.239-pre3
• XFGloss = v1.0.6.59

Called Init() after LoadAplication() like this:

public class MainActivity : FormsAppCompatActivity
{
      protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
     {
           ...
           Forms.Init(this, savedInstanceState);
           ...
           LoadAplication(new App());

           //XFGloss Call
           XFGloss.Droid.Library.Init(this, savedInstanceState);
     }
}

But I get this error:

System.InvalidOperationException:

XFGloss.Droid.Library.Init(...) failed to register the needed AppCompat version of the XFGloss custom renderers.

Any resolution?

Same issues

[tbaggett]

Sorry for the slow reply on this issue. I will fix this and other outstanding issues in a couple of weeks when I complete my current project.

[malokuS]

@tbaggett take your time as for right now I have paused the implementation of XFGloss. Would love to hear back when this gets fixed 😄

Are there any fixes or workarounds for this issue?

This library is awesome, keep up the good work!

[deathwind]

+1 this library is very useful , but I have same exception:(

[ydniw]

@tbaggett Any news on this, i have the same error. Appreciate looking into this. Thanks.

[tbaggett]

Hi all, again, apologies that I haven't had time to investigate this. I'm wrapping up a 6 month contract this week, so I will have time to look into this and other requests next week.

Just remove the Init line (Xamarin 2.3.4.270): //XFGloss.Droid.Library.Init(this, savedInstanceState);

We got the same issue for a specific device: Galaxy J1 Ace, Android 5.1, armeabi-v7a.

Would be great if there is a fix for this.

Today I got this on another device too: Lenovo A536, Android 4.4.2. With XF 2.5.0.91635 & Xamarin.Android.Support.* 26.1.0.1.

@tbaggett Any time to have a look at this yet? Appreciate it.

[ndastur]

Hi. Today I got this with a Samsung S5 running API19 XF 2.5.0

[Demarik]

My workarounds for this issue:

try
{
  XFGloss.Droid.Library.Init(this, bundle);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
var assembly = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies().SingleOrDefault(a => a.FullName.StartsWith("Xamarin.Forms.Core", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase));
var registrarType = assembly.GetType("Xamarin.Forms.Internals.Registrar") ?? assembly.GetType("Xamarin.Forms.Registrar");
var registrarProperty = registrarType.GetProperty("Registered", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Static | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Public);
var registrar = registrarProperty.GetValue(registrarType, null);
var registerMethod = registrar.GetType().GetRuntimeMethod("Register", new[] { typeof(Type), typeof(Type) });
registerMethod.Invoke(registrar, new object[] { typeof(Xamarin.Forms.Switch),
typeof(XFGloss.Droid.Renderers.XFGlossSwitchCompatRenderer) });
}

Hi all, please try the newly-released 1.1.0 version of XFGloss and let me know if it resolves this issue. It adds support for Netstandard 2.0 and Xamarin.Forms 2.5. Thanks!

[tbaggett]

FYI, it has been confirmed this issue still exists with the new version in issue #23. I will investigate further..

[tbaggett]

Thanks to @Demarik 's suggested workaround, I hopefully have a fix! I found a device that I could reproduce the issue on. I modified the code to attempt my original approach first, then attempt their workaround. The workaround took care of the issue on that device. Version 1.1.1 coming in a bit.

[tbaggett]

Version 1.1.1.83 is released. It should be available on nuget.org as soon as their caching catches up. Please give it a try to see if it resolves this issue. Thanks again to @Demarik for their fix!
