mvvmcross binding on switch fails on release

binding, mvvmcross, xamarin

Solution

Since MvvmCross uses reflection to perform databinding, the linker is not seeing the `Checked` property and is not including it in your binary. There is a file name `LinkerPleaseInclude.cs` that you can edit to add a reference to this property.

Something like:

public void Include(Switch @switch)
{
    @switch.CheckedChange += (sender, args) => @switch.Checked = !@switch.Checked;
}

Problem

I have a weird bug in my MVVMCross app. Considering the following scenario: ``` <Switch android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:focusable="false" android:clickable="false" android:layout_alignParentRight="true" android:id="@+id/activatedSwitch" local:MvxBind="Checked IsActive" /> ``` - Compile version: level 14 - Minimum version: level 14 Target version: level 14 Linking: Sdk Assemblies Only Android Phone version is 4.1.2. When I run the app in Debug mode, all is ok. But when I run it in Release, the binding to the Checked property failed with the following error: E/MvxBind (11670): 12,70 View type not found - Switch
