Hi, I think the target type is wrong. Try with TargetType={x:Type Span}

It's right there in the error message you've underlined - your style target type is Label, but you are applying the style to a Span.

Change the target type to Span and remove the properties (HorizontalOptions and Margin) which don't exist on Span, and you will see your style applied.
