FFImageLoading: [Xamarin.Forms Android] Error loading SVG Image through Data Binding

It appears that data binding is possible for SVGs. I’m taking a different approach loading SVGs through data binding.

I have them all in a file structure like the below

Assets
   > Images
       > image-name.svg

Then I have the Images bound in my XAML

<ffimageloadingsvg:SvgCachedImage 
 WidthRequest="50" 
 HeightRequest="50" 
 Source="{Binding ImageSource}"/>

And a ViewModel containing the path data for the SVGs. I’ve tried several approaches as you can see (commented most out for testing purposes) and they all fail 😢 .

MenuItems = new ObservableCollection<MenuItem>(new[]
            {                   
                    new MenuItem { Id = 1,
                        Title = "Facility Info",
                        CommandParameters = "",
                        ImageSource = Xamarin.Forms.ImageSource.FromResource("resource://myMTC.Assets.Images.user.svg") },
                    //new MenuItem { Id = 2,
                    //    Title = "Workshops",
                    //    CommandParameters = "",
                    //    ImageSource = SVG_ASSET_PATH + "user.svg" },
                    //new MenuItem { Id = 3,
                    //    Title = "Feedback",
                    //    CommandParameters = "",
                    //    ImageSource = Xamarin.Forms.ImageSource.FromResource("myMTC.Assets.Images.user.svg") },
                    //new MenuItem { Id = 4,
                    //    Title = "Artifacts",
                    //    CommandParameters = "",
                    //    ImageSource = Xamarin.Forms.ImageSource.FromFile("ms-appx:///Assets/Images/user.svg") },
                    //new MenuItem { Id = 4,
                    //    Title = "Action Items",
                    //    CommandParameters = "",
                    //    ImageSource = new Uri(SVG_ASSET_PATH + "Droid.saction-items.svg") },
            });

It appears the error is rooted somewhere in the ImagerLoaderTask API
