Answer 1

For Xamarin users I had the issue where I had added an icon with lower and uppercase letters (e.g. iconVaccine.png ) and was referring to the uppercase name iconVaccine.

Xamarin will allow you to do this (even though you shouldn't), but when the app gets compiled the name are flattened to lower case, so you must refer to the lower case variant as follows:

Image Name: iconVaccine.png

Xamarin reference: iconVaccine (as created in Resource.designer.cs, but will fail)

Correct Reference: iconvaccine

Hope that helps!
