CarouselView: NullReferenceException on Android after Xamarin Forms update to 4.4.0.991265

I updated my Xamarin Forms project from Xamarin Forms 4.3.0.991250 to 4.4.0.991265 and now get the following NullReferenceException when I start my Android project. iOS works.

Why you need to put the Carousel into a ScrollView?

In my case, I have content below the carousel view that requires vertical scrolling.

I will take a look at this before releasing a new version.

Expect a new version with this issue fixed soon.

Does anyone have a workaround before updating?

Same here on Android Emulator (API 24) and Moto G5 Plus (API 28), so I just downgraded Xamarin Forms from 4.4.0.991265 to 4.3.0.991250 and it looks OK for now.

Hello @alexrainman ! Do you have any estimations regarding the new version release date?

ArtjomP on Oct 28, 2020

Going to do one last release of this plugin in the next few days.

I am also getting perfect same error after I upgraded Xamarin Forms to 4.4.0.991265
