[Bug]Error: : XamlC error XFC0000 : Cannot resolve type "Shield"

[rsbepvb]

Description. Error: : XamlC error XFC0000 : Cannot resolve type "Shield"

Steps to Reproduce

1. Installed Xamarin Community Toolkit (v 1.1.0) in All projects (iOS, Android, Main)
2. Insert xmlns:xct="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2020/toolkit" in xaml page
3. Insert <xct:Shield x:Name="Shield1"
   Subject="Software Version Number"
   Status="on discord"
   StatusBackgroundColor="SeaGreen"
   StatusTextColor="White"
   Margin="2,0"
   HeightRequest="30"
   HorizontalOptions="Start"/>
   in xaml

Expected Behavior

Expect Shield to Appear without error and intelisense to work in xaml.cs page

Actual Behavior

intelisense does not work in xaml.cs page -- intelisense indicates Shield not found. Further when compiling, xaml produces error above -- Error: : XamlC error XFC0000 : Cannot resolve type "Shield".
Interestingly, the shield does appear in app when run.

Basic Information

Would appreciate any suggestions to resolve. None found in searching so far.

I've seen this a couple of times...

Any reason you discarded the rest of the report template? Because I would love to know if you're using Visual Studio on Windows or Mac for instance. If you could complete it with the missing info as much as possible that would be great.

Could you try deleting your bin & obj folders from each project folder on the filesystem and see if it still occurs?

Not sure if it's any help, I see the same thing happened to Forms here at some point.

Thanks JFVerluis. I deleted the bin and obj folders from each project folder and recompiled but unfortunately, the same error is still present. As for the additional information, see below:

• Version with issue: xct 1.1.0

• IDE: Visual Studio Community 2019 for Mac
  Version 8.9.9 (build 3)
• Platform Target Frameworks:

  • Android: Target is 10.0 (API Level 29)
  • UWP: n/a
• Android Support Library Version:
• Nuget Packages:
• Affected Devices: tested against iphones only.

***Gerald, big fan of your you tube videos --- watched the one last night on toast and snackbar -- well done.

Hello. I having the same issue. I have updated and downgraded the nuget, remove bin, obj and .vs folders, updated VS... and the issue is still there. Is there any news about that?

[rsbepvb]

No update that I am aware of. Problem is still unresolved at my end.

[jorgediegocrespo]

It seems it is a cache problem. I have run a maintenance task on Onyx and VS is already working fine :)

As mentioned in other related issues, this is more a tooling issue than an XCT issue. We can't do too much here :(

As far we know you should be able to build and run your app even with those errors

Hi,

There's a workaround where replacing URIs with clr-namespaces gets rid of those errors.

For instance, replace

      xmlns:xct="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2020/toolkit"

with

      xmlns:xct="clr-namespace:Xamarin.CommunityToolkit.UI.Views;assembly=Xamarin.CommunityToolkit"

I hope it helps!
