Xamarin iOS HockeyApp best practice setup?

Question

I'm attempting to get HockeyApp to work in my iOS Xamarin Forms app. I installed the iOS HockeyApp component (v4.1.0), and the getting started information for shows the following:

public override bool FinishedLaunching(UIApplication application, NSDictionary launchOptions)
{
    var manager = BITHockeyManager.SharedHockeyManager;
    manager.Configure("Your_App_Id");
    manager.StartManager();
}

When I try this, BITHockeyManager.SharedHockeyManager is null.

I've tried to wrap these lines in HockeyApp.Setup.EnableCustomCrashReporting() and Setup.EnableCustomCrashReporting() as is referenced in this post, but Setup doesn't exist in the namespaces I have.

What am I missing to properly enable HockeyApp in iOS?

Whoo hoo! Figured it out finally! I had the linker options set to link 'All assemblies' because of a suggestion from the New type registrar in Xamarin.iOS 7.2.1, errors MT5210 and MT5211 thread. I was seeing the 'Native linking failed...' error and switching to 'All assemblies' initially fixed it.

Switching to 'Link SDK assemblies only' fixed both problems
