CollectionView working in debug but not in release in .NET MAUI-CodePudding

I have the following

<CollectionView Margin="5" ItemsSource="{Binding Subjects}">
    <CollectionView.ItemsLayout>
        <GridItemsLayout Orientation="Vertical" Span="2" />
    </CollectionView.ItemsLayout>
    <CollectionView.EmptyView>
        <ContentView>
            <Label Text="No subjects entered yet..." />
        </ContentView>
    </CollectionView.EmptyView>
    <CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <Border MaximumWidthRequest="300">
                <Border.StrokeShape>
                    <RoundRectangle CornerRadius="10" />
                </Border.StrokeShape>
                <Border.GestureRecognizers>
                    <TapGestureRecognizer Command="{Binding Source={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type vm:MainPageViewModel}}, Path=DeleteSubjectCommand}" CommandParameter="{Binding .}" />
                </Border.GestureRecognizers>
                <Label Margin="5" Text="{Binding .}" />
            </Border>
        </DataTemplate>
    </CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
</CollectionView>

The problem is that the <Label Margin="5" Text="{Binding .}" /> is blank in release in my .NET MAUI Android application while in debug, it is populated and the gesture recogniser works. When I add items to the list, the correct number of items appears so it leads me to think that there is something happening with the label highlighted above.

How do I solve this?

CodePudding user response：

Replace:

<DataTemplate>

With:

<DataTemplate x:DataType="{x:Type x:String}>

Do not ask me why.
