Can't get FontSize for labels to work in ResourceDictionary when using OnPlatform

When using <Style TargetType="Label"> I cant get FontSize to work with NamedSize.



Using Xamarin.Forms version : 3.4.0.1008975



Working :



<Style TargetType="Label">
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="Small" />
</Style>


NOT working :



<Style TargetType="Label">
<Setter Property="FontSize">
<Setter.Value>
<OnPlatform x:TypeArguments="x:String"
Android="Small"
iOS="Medium"/>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>


I have tried to change the TypeArguments to <OnPlatform x:TypeArguments="NamedSize" .../> with no success.



I am using other propertysetters with <OnPlatform .../> and they work as they should. Its just FontSize.

  • Thanks for taking the time. That syntax doesn't seem to be working for me. Guessing they changed the OnPlatform in later Xamarin.Forms? Error XLS0415 The attachable property 'iOS' was not found in type 'OnPlatform'. Error XLS0415 The attachable property 'Android' was not found in type 'OnPlatform'.
