Hello, I'm working on an Xamarin Forms Android release. It only seems to work for me with the Linker property set to 'None,' but that causes a target invocation error for me with the Prism NavigationAsync method. If I use 'SDK and User Assemblies' for the Linker property I get the following error:
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error Java.Interop.Tools.Diagnostics.XamarinAndroidException: error XA2006: Could not resolve reference to 'Firebase.Iid.FirebaseInstanceIdService' (defined in assembly 'Microsoft.AppCenter.Push, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null') with scope 'Xamarin.Firebase.Iid, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'. When the scope is different from the defining assembly, it usually means that the type is forwarded. ---> Mono.Cecil.ResolutionException: Failed to resolve Firebase.Iid.FirebaseInstanceIdService

I've tried upgrading or removing packages as well as different configuration settings, but I still get this error.

2021-03-30T17:29:15.14+00:00 @Leon Lu (Shanghai Wicresoft Co,.Ltd.) Thanks for your response. I came across that as well. Can I just uninstall App Center Push and install the Azure Notification Hubs and implement the notifications or do we also need to get a subscription in Azure for that? It appears to me that we would need to subsribe to that in Azure. Is that right?
