Oh no....

Normally I do not write such comments,

but how could it be, that the Bug is known 14 days for the pre-release and 4.5 is released with such a show stopper?!!!

We have just updated to 4.5 and now we can perform a rollback to 4.4. How many time is wasted all over the world because of such low quality updates!!!

I am not sure if Xamarin-Forms is the right platform for us. And this after 3 years of coding....

Hey!
Look for the bright side of the things! There are many new features in 4.5 including the media player

I think XF team give little attention and love to UWP, WPF and macOS platforms so it won't surprise me if UWP ends up at the same place as Silverlight

This issue seems to be the same as #9606
