Increasing java max heap size works for me

Answer 3

In my experience, memory issues ONLY happen on the android version of the Xamarin.Forms app. And it always have to deal with large-size images. I've dealt with this problem by using FFImageLoading(https://github.com/luberda-molinet/FFImageLoading)

Replace your

<Image Source="waterfront.jpg" />

With

<ffimageloading:CachedImage Source="waterfront.jpg"
DownsampleToViewSize = true,
BitmapOptimizations = true/>

You will see a drastic improvements in performance, and it will also solve your memory problems.
