Run on Debug:

Run on Release:

I have the same issue with FontAwesome.

Okay so following this Xamarin guidance fixed it for me. Essentially I have added the following to my UWP App.xaml.cs (perhaps all the registrations aren't needed, I haven't tested which ones are definitely required to fix it, but it works anyway):

List<Assembly> assembliesToInclude = new List<Assembly> { typeof(Iconize).GetTypeInfo().Assembly, typeof(Plugin.Iconize.Fonts.FontAwesomeModule).GetTypeInfo().Assembly, typeof(FormsPlugin.Iconize.IconLabel).GetTypeInfo().Assembly, typeof(FormsPlugin.Iconize.IconButton).GetTypeInfo().Assembly, typeof(FormsPlugin.Iconize.IconTabbedPage).GetTypeInfo().Assembly, typeof(FormsPlugin.Iconize.IconImage).GetTypeInfo().Assembly, typeof(FormsPlugin.Iconize.IconNavigationPage).GetTypeInfo().Assembly, typeof(FormsPlugin.Iconize.IconCarouselPage).GetTypeInfo().Assembly, typeof(FormsPlugin.Iconize.IconToolbarItem).GetTypeInfo().Assembly, typeof(FormsPlugin.Iconize.ToolbarItemExtensions).GetTypeInfo().Assembly, typeof(FormsPlugin.Iconize.UWP.IconButtonRenderer).GetTypeInfo().Assembly, typeof(FormsPlugin.Iconize.UWP.IconLabelRenderer).GetTypeInfo().Assembly, typeof(FormsPlugin.Iconize.UWP.ColorExtensions).GetTypeInfo().Assembly, typeof(FormsPlugin.Iconize.UWP.IconImageRenderer).GetTypeInfo().Assembly, typeof(FormsPlugin.Iconize.UWP.IconNavigationRenderer).GetTypeInfo().Assembly, typeof(FormsPlugin.Iconize.UWP.IconControls).GetTypeInfo().Assembly, typeof(Plugin.Iconize.IconModule).GetTypeInfo().Assembly, typeof(Plugin.Iconize.Extensions).GetTypeInfo().Assembly, typeof(Plugin.Iconize.Iconize.IconizeInitializer).GetTypeInfo().Assembly, typeof(Plugin.Iconize.Icon).GetTypeInfo().Assembly }; Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init(e, assembliesToInclude);

I only needed the following for the Material and material design fonts I used...

 var assembliesToInclude = new List<Assembly>
                {
                    typeof(Plugin.Iconize.Iconize).GetTypeInfo().Assembly,
                    typeof(Plugin.Iconize.Fonts.MaterialModule).GetTypeInfo().Assembly,
                    typeof(Plugin.Iconize.Fonts.MaterialDesignIconsModule).GetTypeInfo().Assembly
                };

  Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init(e, assembliesToInclude);
