            INotifyPropertyChanged vs BindableObject vs ObservableObject in Xamarin.Forms/MAUI
            Asked 2022-Feb-23 at 13:23

            I have a hard time understanding the difference between those 3 things when creating a project using Xamarin.Forms or MAUI. I know what these are - INotifyPropertyChanged is an interface you need to implement when you want to use bindings in XAML, BindableObject is Xamarin.Forms class that implements said interface and ObservableObject is a class found in Xamarin Community Toolkit that also implements that interface. I just don't really understand the differences between them (especially the latter two) and when you would use any of them? I have read different tutorials and they all say different things - that you need to implement the interface yourself (so your viewmodel implements it), that your viewmodel needs to inherit from BindableObject, or - if you're using Xamarin Community Toolkit (which you probably should use/are using) - inherit from ObservableObject. But - like I said - why should you use any of the solutions mentioned above over the others?

            If you implement INotifyPropertyChanged interface Visual Studio (or ReSharper extension, I'm not sure which one) automatically implements the method it needs to and adds this code:

            There is some confusion I think about the different classes:

            • Xamarin.Forms.BindableObject is meant to be used to create something like a custom view with bindable properties. It also implements INotifyPropertyChanged, but I don't think you should use it for a ViewModel.

            • The ObservableObject from the community toolkit can be used as a base class for any class you like to use with data binding, you don't need to implement it yourself.

            • If you have some custom requirements for handling the OnPropertyChanged, you do need to implement the interface yourself, but if you just want to have default behaviour, ObservableObject is perfectly fine.

            • Updated Answer This can be resolved using MSBuild task instead, as the collogues mentioned below. However, in my case this still lead to the same error. After investigating the pipeline. The root cause has been identified: Both in MSBuild@1 and XamariniOS@2 tasks you should target the specific iOS Project and not the solution file, like so:

            " - task: MSBuild@1 inputs: solution: 'PathToIosProject/myproject.iOS.csproj' configuration: '$(BuildConfiguration)' msbuildArguments: /t:restore

            " - task: XamariniOS@2 inputs: solutionFile: PathToIosProject/myproject.iOS.csproj' configuration: '$(BuildConfiguration)' packageApp: true signingIdentity: $(APPLE_CERTIFICATE_SIGNING_IDENTITY)

            • Old Answer

            We have managed to resolve the issue. The root cause of it seems to be an update to the mono framework in the MacOS pipeline build agent. In order to fix it, we need a script for downloading and installing an older version of the mono framework as a first step of the build pipeline like so: link to the pipeline tasks photo

            This is the code of the bash scrip used in the task:

            In this case, there can be race-condition. If two (or more threads) simultaneously reads Instance for first time, there will be created multiple instances of DataSingleton. However every other read will get just one instance. It depends on your scenario, if it is ok.

            Binding property in Xamarin.Forms using MVVM
            Asked 2021-Dec-30 at 00:57

            I have a problem with making a game using Xamarin.Forms and MVVM.

            In the game there's a submarine which is controlled by the user and there are mines falling down so the user has to avoid these mines. The mines are generated in runtime using 2 timers, so I represent these with a CollectionView in XAML.

            I already made this game using WPF (and also using WinForms) and in that case I used Canvas for the game area (ItemsControl for the mines) and the bindings works well. Now (using Xamarin.Forms) I tried implementing the game area with AbsoluteLayout and with RelativeLayout, but always received eg. the following output (RelativeLayout):

            [0:] Binding: '160' cannot be converted to type 'Xamarin.Forms.Constraint'

            Why awaiting in App.OnStart() before setting the MainPage property doesn't load main page
            Asked 2021-Nov-12 at 13:08

            First of all, I know the documentation states that I should set the MainPage property in the App class constructor (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/xamarin-forms/app-fundamentals/application-class#mainpage-property).

            To simplify, what I need to do is some async operation in the OnStart() event handler and after that, set the MainPage property. This question wants to get to the root issue in the framework itself.

            Something like this (simplified on a blank Xamarin.Forms project, you can try if you want):

            ANSWER

            Answered 2021-Nov-12 at 13:08

            As you can see, OnStart returns void, not Task, so it's not intended to be asynchronous. You made it async void but caller (framework code which calls OnStart) has no means to wait for that async operation to complete. For caller, OnStart completes right when await Task.Delay hits (that's when OnStart returns), and so it continues to other stuff. When await Task.Delay completes and you set MainPage - you are not actually in OnStart stage of initialization process, that stage has already been completed 100 milliseconds ago.

            Consider this example which should clarify it:

            Two changes needed:

            1. The type of the bound property (SelectedElement) must match the type of the CollectionView property (SelectedItems). XF Doc says the type is IList.

            2. Your bound property (if the correct type) will get set to the SelectedItems list when the binding is resolved (page is loaded; BindingContext set). It starts out as an empty list. As selection changes, the list's contents change. But the list object itself is the same object, so the setter never gets called again.

            3. So how do you see a change? Via either SelectionChangedCommand, or SelectionChanged event.

              To use SelectionChangedCommand:

              add to CollectionView XAML:
