Launch Storyboard from Xamarin PCL using Dependency Injection Not Working - ios

Question

I'm using dependency injection to launch Wikitude from my PCL project.
I'm using the WikitudeSDKSample. I've integrated it and it compiles.
When I run it, it shows a blank white page with the VC name at the top. It never initializes the camera or the AR. No errors.
Here's what I got so far:
[assembly: Xamarin.Forms.Dependency(typeof(AugmentedRealityImplementation))]
namespace UXDivers.Artina.Grial
{
public class AugmentedRealityImplementation : IAugmentedReality
{
public AugmentedRealityImplementation() { }
public void LaunchWikitude()
{
var storyboard = UIStoryboard.FromName("MainStoryboard_iPhone", null);
var controller = storyboard.InstantiateViewController("StoryBoardViewController");
var window = UIApplication.SharedApplication.KeyWindow;
window.RootViewController = controller;
window.MakeKeyAndVisible();
}
}
}
Here's the Wikitude View Controller Class
using System;
using CoreGraphics;
using Foundation;
using UIKit;
using CoreMedia;
using Wikitude.Architect;

Answer 1

I deleted everything and recreated it and it worked with following code:
'public void LaunchWikitude()
{
var storyboard = UIStoryboard.FromName("MainStoryboard_iPhone", null);
var controller = storyboard.InstantiateViewController("StoryBoardViewController") as UIViewController;
var window = UIApplication.SharedApplication.KeyWindow;
window.RootViewController = controller;
window.MakeKeyAndVisible();
}'
