Api payload empty in release mode mvvmcross, works everywhere else?

[wernerawesim]

I'm trying to post Json data to a web api from a mvvmcross project, it works in debug mode but as soon as I switch over to release the payload is empty when received by the API.

It works in all other project types that runs in release except mvvmcore?
Any idea what would casue this?

Code
var jsonPayload = new StringContent(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(request),Encoding.UTF8, Client.ContentType); httpResponse = Client.HttpClient.PostAsync(endpoint, jsonPayload).Result;

MvvmCross doesn't do anything special with your code. However, some parts of MvvmCross relies on reflection and due to that, linkers/trimmers cannot figure out whether certain parts of your code is actually being used.

Since, in Debug configurations the linker doesn't run or is less aggressive, you don't see the issue there.

You will need to find out which parts of your code is stripped out and hint the linker that it is actually being used.

You can see an example of that here: https://github.com/MvvmCross/MvvmCross/blob/develop/Projects/Playground/Playground.Droid/LinkerPleaseInclude.cs

Thanks Tomasz, You were right, It turned out I had to add my custom assembly to be excluded from linker. All is working now.
