IndexOutOfRangeException in Release-Distribution

[stephanblaurock]

I'm trying to render a simple MD-String I get following error:

var output = Markdown.ToHtml("# This is a test");

System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'Markig.Markdown' threw an exception. ---> System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array. at Markdig.Markdown..cctor()..

In the simulator, everything works fine in both DEBUG build and RELEASE build
On the physical device (via InHouse-Distribution) everything works in the DEBUG build but NOT in the RELEASE build :-(

My environment:
MacOSX Big Sur (11.6.1)
Visual Studio for Mac (8.10.16 build 2)
Xamarin Forms (5.0.0.2291)
Markdig (0.26.0)
iOS-Simulator (15.2)
iOS-Device (15.2)

This is most likely the same as #536 and #564.

The problem is not with Markdig, but with Xamarin iOS (e.g. a linker being too aggressive in removing attributes).

My suggestion is the same as for the other issues #564 (comment) - file an issue with Xamarin so they can investigate.
Or if you are interested in doing the investigation yourself, a good start would be

Something you could try is to build Markdig yourself and remove this line to see if the problem still reproduces. If it requires an actual device, I'm afraid I can't validate the change myself.

Should be fixed with #600

Closing as fixed.
