Xamarin.forms: Custom BoxViewRenderer in UWP doesn't fire from external lib.

[MarcosCobena]

Description

Having a Custom Renderer for a custom BoxView does nothing if such is placed in a library. However, just moving it to the Forms UWP app works fine. Passing the container assembly at Forms.Init(e, rendererAssemblies) neither works.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Download GradientBoxView sol. from https://github.com/DevsDNA/GradientBoxView/tree/features/UWP
2. Run UWP Example

Expected Behavior

To show a gradient at the center of the screen.

Actual Behavior

You see the screen empty. However, adding a link to UWP GradientBoxViewRenderer.cs at UWP Example app it just works.

Sorry @samhouts, I couldn't spend time on this. It's OK for me to close this issue for now, I guess no one else has showed interest on it.

Thanks for your time!
