NLog: System.ArgumentException: LayoutRenderer cannot be found: 'longdate' when creating new target programatically

Type: Bug

NLog version: 4.3.7 (latest)

Platform: Xamarin Android

Current NLog config

public static void ConfigureAll()
{
        LoggingConfiguration config = new LoggingConfiguration();
        config = ConfigureConsole(config);
        LogManager.Configuration = config;
        Debug.Write("Logger linked!");
}

public static LoggingConfiguration ConfigureConsole(LoggingConfiguration config)
{
        ConsoleTarget consoleTarget = new ConsoleTarget();

        consoleTarget.Name = "Console";
        consoleTarget.Layout = @"${date:format=HH\:mm\:ss.fff}|${pad:padding=5:inner=${level:uppercase=true}}|${pad:padding=30:fixedLength=True:inner=${logger}}: ${message}";

        LoggingRule rule1 = new LoggingRule("*", Constants.ConsoleLogLevel, consoleTarget);

        config.AddTarget("console", consoleTarget);
        config.LoggingRules.Add(rule1);

        return config;
}

• What is the current result? – When running the above code, the application throws a System.ArgumentException on the new ConsoleTarget(); with the message that the longdate LayoutRenderer cannot be found.
• What is the expected result? – No exception (obviously)
• Did you checked the Internal log? – No, cannot work out how to do this on Android.
• Please post full exception details (message, stacktrace, inner exceptions)

• Are there any work arrounds? – Perhaps using the xml configuration, but I cannot get that to work.
• Is there a version in which it did worked? – I tried 4.3.6 to no avail.

It seems that NLog fails on creating the default ConsoleTarget Layout. The same thing occurs for other Targets, tested with DebuggerTarget. NLog was installed using NuGet, Xamarin.Forms has version 2.3.1.114.
