Description
I have a Xamarin.Forms project, where data is given to the user through the network.
In case when the phone is connected to the router through Wi-Fi, but router itself is disconnected from the network Xamarin.Essentials Connectivity gives the documented false status of connection, and so, expected behavior of the app is to fall due to timeout (that could be caught and processed to give the appropriate info to the user).
Though, this expected behavior is observed on iOS and on Android emulator on VS 2017, but not on the real Android device (the app hangs and then crashes there). There is a solution in SO for this problem:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48475378/httpclient-not-working-on-android
If I change the properties of the Android project as it is said, I have another problem. In certain cases our server responds with redirect, and I hoped that it was the same issue as that: #1923
(it is solved with #2390)
I have updated the Android SDK with the last stable version yesterday, but my app still crashes.
Error message:
Unable to convert instance of type 'Java.Net.URLConnectionInvoker' to type 'Java.Net.HttpURLConnection'.
