Realm Xamarin - Error on GetInstance()

I set my main page in this way:

namespace MyNamepage
{
public partial class MyPage: ContentPage
  {
    private Realm realm;
    public MyPage()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        this.realm = Realm.GetInstance();
    }
  }
}

Debugging the Android project i got this error and the app crash:

System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

  • I've installed "Realm" in PCL and in Droid Project using NuGet but it seems doesn't work.
  • If i remove the GetInstance() call, the app doesn't crash;

Solution

  • As the stack trace indicates and the path you have posted in the comments shows. You have installed the PCL version into the platform specific projects. Which is why it throws the PlatformNotSupportedException exception you are getting.

    Try reinstalling the NuGet in your platform specific projects. Alternatively you can manually change the reference to point at:

    packages\Realm.0.78.1\lib\MonoAndroid44\Realm.dll

    You shouldn't have any reference to the portable folder in your platform specific project.
