Recently we are seeing this exception randomly on Android 12.
Any suggestions to resolve this?
Android.Views.InflateException: 'Binary XML file line #1 in org.example.com/shellcontent: Binary XML file line #1 in org.example.com:layout/shellcontent: Error inflating class <unknown>'

Hi, Raj-9501. How do you create the Shell application? Do you use a custom renderer class? And will this issue occur on other Android framework version like Android 11? I cannot reproduce the issue on my side, please try to update the Xamarin.Forms nuget to the last stable version and test again. If it doesn't work, could you please share a basic demo to the github or onedrive and post the link here? It'll help to reproduce the issue to get the cause.

It works as it should until you try to navigate tabs after switching from Dark to Light or Light to Dark. The error I am getting is absoulutely useless. I tried looking in the debug log and I see the same error
Android.Views.InflateException: 'Binary XML file line #1 in com.companyname.NightForceMobileApp:layout/rootlayout: Binary XML file line #1 in com.companyname.NightForceMobileApp:layout/rootlayout: Error inflating class <unknown>'This did not happen prior to implementing app theme binding
