i'm making an android app with Xamarin.Forms. My iOS app is already finished an released.
My android version will not stop throwing multiple exceptions.
The first exception is a NullReferenceException. This breaks on the following code snipped:
handler(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
This is inside my OnPropertyChanged method in a custom NotifyBase class i use for my models.
(Also failing if i remove all but this line from the method.)
The debug output just tells me this:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
An unhandled exception occured.
Exception:
This is followed by a TargetInvocationException giving this stack trace:
System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

As my debug output states this seems to happen for a DateTime property that is set to what seems to be a min value for the DatePicker:
07-16 17:32:45.761 I/mono-stdout(27212): DEBUG - Changing value from '01.01.0001 00:00:00' to '01.01.1900 00:00:00'.
07-16 17:32:45.771 I/mono-stdout(27212): DEBUG - Raising PropertyChanged for: 'TransMissionCore.Date'.
My codes works perfectly on iOS. But on Android this is a show stopper.
I tried my app with the latest version of Xamarin.Forms (1.2.1.6229) and with 1.1.1.6206 but this makes no difference.
Is there some kind of workaround? Or am i making a mistake?
Please give advice.
