I am recently unable to compile the UWP within the release configuration. I get the errors as below, which I read as being in relation to the xamarin.forms.element.

Both the android and iOS counterparts can and have been distributed without problem.
I would appreciate any help at all as this has stopped us in our tracks to distribute to the windows store the latest build.
