Breadcrumbs are not visible when used in combination with Prism IInitializeAsync

[vde-developer]

Hi,

I'm using the breadcrumbs in a Xamarin Forms project that uses the prism framework as an MVVM helper.

When navigating to a Page that uses the IInitializeAsync interface, the breadcrumbs will not be visible. This happens because the moment the constructor of the breadcrumbs is called, the Navigation.NavigationStack returns an empty list.

If created a workaround for this issue by calling the code from the constructor when the page OnAppreaing of the page is called. While this workaround works for me, its definitely not as pretty as i would like.

Do you have any tips on how to best fix this behavior?

Sorry @vde-developer, I've never used Prism before.

Could you create a repo project, and when I have time ill take a look.

Of course,

Ive created a repo with a small test project. 'APage' and 'APageViewModel' show the issue, whilst the breadcrumbs are working as expected on the other views.

The repo can be found at

@vde-developer NuGet version 2.8.1-beta1 should fix the issue, let me know if it doesnt

Looks like the fix is working as great! I did have to add a reference to Xamarin Community Toolkit as it wasn't specified as a dependency in the nuget package.

Fixed in version 2.8.2
