This is my first commit on google play store. I am using Xamarin Forms and when i run my app localy on my android phone, i have no issues.
When I Archive and Distribute the App within VS using Archive Manager and download it on my phone, or any other android phone, the App crashes before going to the 1st screen.
Under Play Console I can see the following error on the Pre-Lunch report
Blockquote FATAL EXCEPTION: main Process: com.*****.*****, PID: 8647 android.runtime.JavaProxyThrowable: Xamarin.Forms.Xaml.XamlParseException: Position 30:125.

The thing is that my Menus.MainPageV2 includes OnMenuItemSelected2 which is run just fine when testing localy
The automated Google Test results on the on the Pre-Lunch report are failing for all testing devices with the same error.
Things I tried changing, re-Archiving and Distributing: - Closed VS, cleaned bin, obj directories and Re-Built - Upgraded to the latest Xamarin Forms Nuget - Linking with None, Sdk and User Assemblies, Sdk Assemblies only
Anyone have any ideas on what else i might try to get this to work ?
Thank you for your time.
