Making Tizen.TV.UIControls work on Visual Studio


I'm developing a gallery with images from a webserver that I host. The thing is I want to navigate between the images using the controller of the TV (the remote). I tried the sample Tizen provided on GitHub :

https://github.com/Samsung/Tizen.TV.UIControls/wiki/Introducing-Tizen.TV.UIControls https://github.com/Samsung/Tizen.TV.UIControls

But I can't make them work. Everytime I try to implement it, I get this error :

System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Tizen.ExportRendererAttribute' from assembly 'Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Tizen, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.

Any idea how to make it work?


Solution

  • API is broken on Xamarin.forms 4.2.0 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/xamarin-forms/release-notes/4.2/4.2.0-api#removed-type-xamarinformsplatformtizenexportrendererattribute

    Before release a new version of Tizen.TV.UIControls, you can only use under Xamarin.forms 4.1.x version
