I've got the same issue with using IconToolbarItem for Android:

        <iconize:IconToolbarItem Icon="fa-500px" IsVisible="true" />
    </ContentPage.ToolbarItems>
    
    <ContentPage.Content>

            <Label Text="{Binding name}" />
        </StackLayout>
    </ContentPage.Content>
    
</ContentPage>

Open

var taskDetail = new TaskDetail((TaskModel)task);

Navigation.PushModalAsync(new IconNavigationPage(taskDetail));

Since both IconImage and IconLabel are working fine I doubt if this has anything to do with the setup of the package. Any solution for this error?

Edit: I'm using 2.0.0.29-beta

[BertKooij]

I have a solution for my issue, the issue was that I did not initialize the specific Android implementation with the right Resources.

NuGet installed (In PCL, Android and iOS):

• Xam.Plugin.Iconize (2.0.0.29-beta)
• Xam.Plugin.Iconize.FontAwesome

MainActivity.cs (Android)

global::Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init(this, bundle);
Plugin.Iconize.Iconize.Init(Resource.Id.toolbar, Resource.Id.sliding_tabs); // Could also be Resource.Id.tabs
LoadApplication(new App());

View.xaml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ContentPage x:Name="Page"
             xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
             xmlns:iconize="clr-namespace:Plugin.Iconize;assembly=Plugin.Iconize">
    <ContentPage.ToolbarItems>
        <iconize:IconToolbarItem Icon="fa-500px" />
    </ContentPage.ToolbarItems>
</ContentPage>
