I have uploaded the app.xaml contents. I have not made any changes in it.

Answer 1

There are two potential causes of this.

1. The most common is the x:Class doesn't match up with the MainPage.xaml namespace. Make sure that x:Class in MainPage.xaml has the correct namespace.

2. The second most common cause of this problem is that the "Build Action" is not set to "Page" for MainPage.xaml!
