Xamarin.forms: [Android, PCL] - ImageLoaderSourceHandler: Could not retrieve image or image data was invalid

[mattregul]

Description

• On Android, using the latest Forms and a PCL project... a XAML ImageCell with a hardcoded ImageSource may timeout and return an error.

• Appears to work as expected with Shared or .NET Standard solutions

• Only tested in simulation

<ImageCell
    ImageSource="https://www.xamstatic.com/dist/images/pages/platform/visual-studio-icon-uHIZMvQl.png"
    Text="{Binding Name}"
    Detail="{Binding Job}">
</ImageCell>

I had the same issue and I found out that it was due to the fact that I loaded an Image from an SSL URL just like you. Here is a solution to the issue https://doumer.me/2018/03/29/resolve-image-loading-error-in-xamarin-forms/
I resolved it by changing the SSL and TLS settings.

Oops! That page can’t be found.

this url works better (at the time of typing): https://doumer.me/resolve-image-loading-error-in-xamarin-forms

[PureWeen]

The image url in the original repro seems totally broken at this point I can't get that one to load in a browser or netstandard or PCL

that being said I just found some other url and that failed to load images on 2.5
I then updated the PCL sample to 3.1 and all the images loaded there

If my assessment seems wrong please let me know and attach a 3.1 repro
