Mvvmcross: The app stuck at Splash Screen when using MVVMCross 6.x

[ghost]

Steps to reproduce :scroll:

1. Copy the Playground or any other sample solution that using MVVMCross 6
2. Restore Nuget packages and rebuild the solution
3. Run the app.

Expected behavior :thinking:

The app will navigate to FirstViewModel define in App.cs after showing Splash Screen

Actual behavior :bug:

The app will stuck in Splash Screen (with loading screen). No issue if I'm using MVVMCross version 5.7

Configuration :wrench:

• Visual Studio 2017 ver. 15.7.3
• Xamarin.Android 8.3.3.2
• MVVMCross ver. 6.x (did try to use 6.0.1 and 6.1.0)

Platform:

• [ ] :iphone: iOS
• [x] :robot: Android
• [ ] :checkered_flag: WPF
• [ ] :earth_americas: UWP
• [ ] :apple: MacOS
• [ ] :tv: tvOS
• [ ] :monkey: Xamarin.Forms

I've got an update for this problem. If I'm using template given from MvxScaffolding, the app will run fine. It can go to the FirstViewModel.

However, if I try to replicate the template manually (even follows the readme.txt file) the app won't even reach Initialize method in App.cs. Just stop at the Splash Screen and stays there forever.

I've tried to created MainApplication class like the one in Playground project, used the Splash Screen inherited from these class:

• MvxSplashScreenAppCompatActivity
• MvxSplashScreenActivity
• MvxSplashScreenAppCompatActivity<MvxAppCompatSetup<Core.App>, <App>>
• MvxSplashScreenActivity<MvxApplicationSetup<Core.App>, <App>>

Nothing is working. But if I modified the SplashActivity.cs from the MvxScaffolding template, it works just fine.

Since I need to upgrade my current app, using the template is out of option. Did I missed something here?

What's the difference between your SplashActivity.cs and the MvxScaffolding template?

I'm facing the same issue. I try the following :

• Launch TipCalc sample : freeze at SplashScreen
• Follow TipCalc tutorial from mvvmcross website : freeze at startup (no splashscreen added)
• Lauch StarWars sample : it works !

Strange because StarWars like TipCalc samples use _MvvmCross 6.0_.

@flyingxu there was no different at all. I even copied the codes from the template to my SplashActivity.cs and it still freeze there.
