This kind of issue may also come if by mistake you have any syntactical error like in my case: two text cells were present in the ListView -

I went through other posts for this issue and found the same issue occurred due to the presence of syntactical errors, which VS doesn't report directly. So look for this, otherwise, reinstall the compatible version of xamarin.forms -> clean solutions -> rebuild by reopening VS.
