Issue With Xamarin.Forms Images in iOS Renderer

I hope someone can help me with this weird problem.

I'm in Xamarin Forms, in a renderer. I'm passing a Xamarin.Forms.ImageSource into a ImageLoaderSourceHandler. 

var_imageLoader = new ImageLoaderSourceHandler();

However, when I await the LoadImageAsync method it always returns null, rather than UIimage. 

if (_view.Icon?.Source != null)
{
    _iconImageView.Image = 
        await _imageLoader.LoadImageAsync(_view.Icon.Source);
}

My images are in the Resource directory and are BundleResourceas build action.

The file naming is correct (menu.png, [email protected], [email protected]) and I've run out if ideas.

Anyone got a clue or two ? Thanks

ImageLoaderSourceHandler is used if you want to download images from a Url.

Since your files are local you need to use FileImageSourceHandler

You can use this help method to get you the right type.

private static IImageSourceHandler GetHandler(ImageSource source)
        {
            IImageSourceHandler returnValue = null;
            if (source is UriImageSource)
            {
                returnValue = new ImageLoaderSourceHandler();
            }
            else if (source is FileImageSource)
            {
                returnValue = new FileImageSourceHandler();
            }
            else if (source is StreamImageSource)
            {
                returnValue = new StreamImagesourceHandler();
            }
            return returnValue;
        }
