I was able to reproduce the Issue #1 in my local end. I'm investigating the problem to find out what may cause the problem. I will keep this thread updated with any news regarding this.

Issue #2: ... The timer checks every second, if a date of a list item is reached and then this list item should change its appearance ...

I modified CrossListTest sample and managed to have the list item change its appearance (work as expected). The detail is as follow:

Modify UpdateIcon() in Item.cs file (Model) by replacing this.thumbNail with this.ThumbnailImage.

public void UpdateIcon()
{
    if (this.date < DateTime.Now)
    {
        this.ThumbnailImage =
            typeof (item).Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("CrossListTest.Core.Assets.Images.Large.lumix.jpg")
                .ToByte();
        this.StrikeThrough = true;
    }
    else
    {
        this.ThumbnailImage =
            typeof (item).Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("CrossListTest.Core.Assets.Images.Large.lumix.jpg")
                .ToByte();
        this.StrikeThrough = false;
    }
}

Modify OnDataChanged in the constructor of SimpleViewModel into the following:

public SimpleViewModel()
{
    ...
    if (currentItem != null)
    {
        currentItem.UpdateIcon();
                
        ServiceProvider.GetService<IViewService>().RunOnUIThread(() =>
        {
            this.OnDataChanged(currentItem);
        });

        this.GreetingText = "let's go";
    }
    ...
}

Save all the changes; set a suitable date in line 68; and when a date of a list item is reached, then this list item should change its appearance (from polaroid.jpg to lumix.jpg).

Hope this helps.

Hello Yudi,

your proposed solutions for Issue#2 work great.

What about Issue#1! I need a solution for this, too. The drawer navigation is very important and it must work in iOS 7 and iOS 8 as a "Unified API app". It is getting urgent for me, so a fix would be very nice.

Thanks,

Thomas
