SyncFusion sfChart, sfPopupLayout does not work in release mode

[Sree Sundaram]

I have an app that uses sfPopupLayout and also uses sfChart. They all work fine in debug mode but they throw an exception in Release mode. I get the following exception:

Exception thrown: 'System.NullReferenceException' in Syncfusion.SfPopupLayout.XForms.dll

I get a similar exception for sfChart as well

Thank you Yuvaraj. After adding the following lines in my UWP code (App.xaml.cs in OnLaunched event handler), I was able to make it work:

The new code goes between the following two lines:

rootFrame.NavigationFailed += OnNavigationFailed;

//Code goes here

                Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init(e); //comment this one out and add the new version (see below) instead

                rootFrame.NavigationFailed += OnNavigationFailed;

                

                List<Assembly> assembliesToInclude = new List<Assembly>();

                //Now, add in all the assemblies your app uses

                assembliesToInclude.Add(typeof(Syncfusion.XForms.UWP.PopupLayout.SfPopupLayoutRenderer).GetTypeInfo().Assembly);

                assembliesToInclude.Add(typeof(WordDocument).GetTypeInfo().Assembly);

                assembliesToInclude.Add(typeof(Presentation).GetTypeInfo().Assembly);

                assembliesToInclude.Add(typeof(Syncfusion.SfChart.XForms.UWP.SfChartRenderer).GetTypeInfo().Assembly);

                assembliesToInclude.Add(typeof(Syncfusion.ListView.XForms.SfListView).GetTypeInfo().Assembly);

                //Also do this for all your other 3rd party libraries

                Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init(e, assembliesToInclude);

                ///////

                //commented the line below but included the one above

                //Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init(e);
