Xamarin-macios: Build fails on the latest version of VSForMac 8.2

[aserdobintsev]

No code changes or configuration, build succeeds in VSForMac 8.1.
Build fails in the latest 8.2 version that contains new version of Xamarin.iOS and Mono.
Build fails in the latest preview of 8.3 with the same errors.

Steps to Reproduce

The app use ApplePay, so in code we have usage of PKPaymentAuthorizationViewController from PassKit.

Actually, there are no special steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Open the project.
2. Select Simulator iPhone XR 12.4 as a target.
3. Run the project.
4. Runtime error from start, during Xamarin.iOS loading in memory.

Though the project is successfully built for a simulator, it fails for the device:

1. Open the project.
2. Select device as a target.
3. Run the project.
4. Build fails.

Expected Behavior

Normal execution on simulator.
Build succeeds for device.

Actual Behavior

Runtime error on simulator.
Build fails for device.

[rolfbjarne]

I can reproduce this.

[rolfbjarne]

Can you try add this anywhere in your Main method:

Console.WriteLine (new AddressBook.ABGroup ());

this works as a workaround for me.

[aserdobintsev]

@rolfbjarne Thanks, I'll try it on Monday.
There is another workaround - just comment all usages of PassKit and PKPaymentAuthorizationViewController. It also helps.

[aserdobintsev]

@rolfbjarne instantiating of the ABGroup have helped to fix build error.

+1 for the ABGroup
