Android build compiles fine:Xaml Parser fails to understand the expression when placed wrongly and compiles in release

[liveinvarun]

Description

The sample contains a parser mistake that runs the app in release mode for android. The binding fails expression was typed mistakenly and the binding expression is shown in UI rather than the stopping the compliation with error. The solution compiles in Release mode. I have seen this working in android.

The sample demostrates this with the help of collection but not sure this happens in other scenarios also.

Steps to Reproduce

<HorizontalStackLayout Spacing="25" Padding="30,0" VerticalOptions="Center"> <Label Text="{Binding Name}" SemanticProperties.HeadingLevel="Level1" FontSize="32" HorizontalOptions="Center" />

                <Label Text="{Binding Location}">  
                      Style="{StaticResource locationStyle}" >
                    </Label>

            </HorizontalStackLayout>

This should have been an error but expressions runs in a release build and does create style/binding expression as text label.
