Property Resources is null or is not IEnumerable

I got this error in break mode in visual studio 2015 when I was learning to make a Xamarin.Forms page.

Unhandled Exception: Xamarin.Forms.Xaml.XamlParseException: Position 12:10. Property Resources is null or is not IEnumerable

My App.xaml code is below

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Application xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
             x:Class="Bisells.App">
    <Application.Resources>

        <!-- Application resource dictionary -->
        <!--  colors  -->
        <!--<Color x:Key="HeaderTextColor">#585858</Color>
            <Color x:Key="BodyTextColor">#C3C3C3</Color>-->

        <Color x:Key="TimelineColor">#E4B6C3</Color>
        <Color x:Key="HeaderTextColor">#3C3C3C</Color>
        <Color x:Key="BodyTextColor">#869EAC</Color>
        <Color x:Key="TimeColor">#A64C79</Color>

        <!--  font families  -->
        <OnPlatform

Define style in App.xaml like this:

<Application xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml" x:Class="PlatformFontSample.App">
<Application.Resources>
    <ResourceDictionary>
        <OnPlatform x:Key="FontFamilyName" x:TypeArguments="x:String" iOS="MarkerFelt-Thin" Android="OpenSans" WinPhone="Segoe UI" />
        <Style x:Key="FontLabel" TargetType="Label">
            <Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="{DynamicResource FontFamilyName}" />
        </Style>
    </ResourceDictionary>
</Application.Resources>

and then Use in xaml:

<Label Text="{Binding Name}" Style="{DynamicResource FontLabel}" FontSize="Medium" FontAttributes="Bold" LineBreakMode="NoWrap"/>

You forgot the ResourceDictionary tag:

<Application.Resources>
    <ResourceDictionary>
        <!-- Application resource dictionary -->
        <!--  colors  -->
        <!--<Color x:Key="HeaderTextColor">#585858</Color>
            <Color x:Key="BodyTextColor">#C3C3C3</Color>-->

        <Color x:Key="TimelineColor">#E4B6C3</Color>
        <Color x:Key="HeaderTextColor">#3C3C3C</Color>
        <Color x:Key="BodyTextColor">#869EAC</Color>
        <Color x:Key="TimeColor">#A64C79</Color>
    </ResourceDictionary>
 </Application.Resources>
