Xamarin Form projects crashes at runtime if I add a skiacanvas object to detail view

I have a forms project with a master-detail setup.

If I try and put a SKCanvasView object into the detail view, I get a run time error. This happens if I do it in xaml file or if I do it in C#.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

//adding this line causes a crash
<skia:SKCanvasView x:Name="canvasView" PaintSurface="CanvasView_PaintSurface"></skia:SKCanvasView>
