In my opinion the biggest problem with Xamarin Forms right now is that the biggest, most widely reported issues in the Forums are completely ignored by Xamarin. The general (and best) response is from some helpful developer that has found some workaround, probably through some sort of obscure custom renderer, but many issues remain and persist without as much as a post from Xamarin.
Whilst I appreciate the response from the developers, there are generally no comments from Xamarin.
No, "we are working on a fix." Or, "we can't sort that out because of this"... just silence.
I appreciate the effort from the team who are clearly working really hard and have produced wonderful updates lately, but when issues are latent and present for months (years?) and are re-posted over and over without response, then I have to start questioning what is going on?
Do we keep bumping posts in the hope that we eventually get a response? Do we eventually start getting upset (like I am now?)
Whilst I understand the effort, I need to hear from Xamarin why:
- developers cannot remove the blue line from Listview group headers (Android)
- why we have the double animation still occurring when switching from tabview/navigation to modal pages (Android)
This has been going on forever.
Come-on guys. I'm losing faith.
