I'm having issues - with an "Assertion crash" - mixing Action and API calls in Xamarin.
MainPage.xaml.cs
private void Button_clicked(...) {
serialLoader.Load(targetID, OnLoadSuccessful):
}
private void OnLoadSuccessful(TargetResult result) {
// Do something
}
SerialLoader.cs
public void Load(string targetID, Action OnLoadSuccessful) {
// API service call that "forces" me to use the following
client.LoadCompleted += (sender, e) => OnSerialLoadCompleted(sender, e, targetID, OnLoadSuccessful);
client.LoadAsync(...) // I don't think this call is "really async" as return type is void.
}
public void OnSerialLoadCompleted(object sender, LoadCompletedEventArgs e, string targetID, Action OnLoadSuccessful) {
if (...) { // If loaded successfully...
.. call the Action passing the result so that I can handle it in the MainPage.xaml.cs
OnLoadSuccessful(e.Result);
}
}
This crashes the application with the following errors

I assume this is related to executions on multiple threads; I've tried adding "Device.BeginInvokeOnMainThread" (didn't work) and tried to replace my Action by Func but with no luck. Also, I'm surprised both the emulator and the smartphone crash so badly!
Any help is appreciated.
