ArgumentNullException when using the unload method in the OnDisappearing event

[Julien]

When I leave my page, I use the OnDisappearing event to unload the PDF viewer control.

During this unload, I get an ArgumentNullException.

The error appears since versions 17.3.x.x

With version 17.2.0.51, I did not have a problem

Here is the stacktrace:

Here is the code that generates the exception:

protected override void OnDisappearing()

{

base.OnDisappearing();

pdfViewerControl.Unload();

}

Characteristic of the project:

Xamarin.Forms 4.2.0.848062

Xamarin.iOS 13.4.0.2

.NET STandard 2.1

Is there a workaround to correct this ? 

Thanks.
