App crashes with the picker added

If i add the sfPicker to an app then the app crashes as it loads.  I tried it with the SyncFusion example solution as well but when i loaded the screen with it on it crashed as well.  I am currently evaluating the trial version and the version of the picker is 28.1.39

Hi, thanks for your response but it looks like this has ended up in the wrong forum section.  It is the MAUI sfPicker control i am looking at running on Windows or Android.

If the picker is loading a large amount of data (like a long list of items or dates), it can cause excessive memory consumption, which leads to the app crashing, especially on devices with limited resources. Implement lazy loading or pagination for large datasets. Instead of loading  https://smartledinc.com/product/2-sided-4x8-outdoor-led-sign-5k-6mm-resolution/ everything at once, load items incrementally based on user interaction or scrolling.

It sounds like the issue might be related to how the picker is being initialized or updated in your app. Sometimes crashes occur due to null references or incorrect bindings. Double-check your picker’s data source and event handlers — ensuring everything is properly connected usually fixes these kinds of problems!

Hi William Gerorge,

Thanks for the suggestion. We have revalidated the scenario using the latest NuGet (31.2.5). Here’s what we checked:

  • Picker initialization flow
  • Data bindings and the picker’s data source
  • Added/verified possible null checks to prevent binding/data issues

Everything is working as expected on our end. We’ve attached an updated simple sample along with an output video for the reference. Please let us know if you need any further assistance.


Regrads,
Vallarasu R.

It sounds like adding the picker is causing a conflict in the app. Checking for proper initialization, data binding, and compatibility with your current framework or OS version might help resolve the crashes.
