This is a known issue with Xamarin.Forms for UWP.

To fix it you must register your PCL at start up like so:

// you'll need to add `using System.Reflection;`
List<Assembly> assembliesToInclude = new List<Assembly>();

//Now, add in all the assemblies your app uses
assembliesToInclude.Add(typeof(ClassInYourPCL).GetTypeInfo().Assembly);

//Also do this for all your other 3rd party libraries

Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init(e, assembliesToInclude);
// replaces Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init(e);
