I am getting this too. I have yet to have any success solving it. Any ideas on what is going on? My only alternative it to ditch the package all together.

I think I have fixed this by creating a wrapper control in my xamarin.forms project and a renderer that inherits from XfxEntryRendererDroid.

The control looks like this:

public class BizsXfxEntry : XfxEntry
{
   public BizsXfxEntry() {
   }
}

and my renderer is here:
