Xamarin.ios - resx reference in xaml file not working - ios

Question

I've a AppResources.resx file where I store all strings that I use across my app. My Xamarin project contains two solutions one for Android and another for iOS. The Android app is working perfectly. But the iOS app is throwing Xaml errors that say something like "Cannot found static member AppResources".
Here's my xaml:
<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:HalliganTL;assembly=HalliganTL"
x:Class="HalliganTL.View.LoginPage">
<Grid Style="{StaticResource backgroundColor}">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="4*" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
<RowDefinition Height="2*" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="20" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="20" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Entry x:Name="entryEmail"
Placeholder="{x:Static local:AppResources.login_page_email_placeholder}" Text="{Binding Username}" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" />
<Entry x:Name="entryPassword"
Placeholder="{x:Static local:AppResources.login_page_password_placeholder}"
Text="{Binding Password}" IsPassword="true" Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="1"/>
<ActivityIndicator x:Name="activityIndicator" IsRunning="False" Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="1" />
<Button Text="{x:Static local:AppResources.login_page_login_button_text}"
Style="{StaticResource redButton}" Clicked="OnLoginButtonClicked" Grid.Row="4" Grid.Column="1"/>
<Button Text="{x:Static local:AppResources.login_page_forgot_password_button_text}"
Style="{StaticResource blueButton}" Clicked="OnForgotPasswordClicked" Grid.Row="5" Grid.Column="1"/>
</Grid>
</ContentPage>
Any tip about what can be causing this error?
UPDATE
I removed all AppResources.resx references in the XAML file, and yet It throws an error telling me that the "OnLoginButtonClicked" method doesn't exist in the .cs code. But It clearly does!
Here's my .cs code:
using Newtonsoft.Json;
using HalliganTL.ViewModel;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Xamarin.Forms;
using XLabs.Ioc;
namespace HalliganTL.View
{
public partial class LoginPage : ContentPage
{
public LoginPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
NavigationPage.SetHasNavigationBar(this, false);
Title = AppResources.login_page_title;
BindingContext = new MainViewModel();
}
async void OnForgotPasswordClicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
await Navigation.PushAsync(new ForgotPasswordPage());
}
async void OnLoginButtonClicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Validates email
if (!HalliganUtils.IsValidEmail(entryEmail.Text))
{
await DisplayAlert(AppResources.error_title,
AppResources.login_page_email_validation_error,
AppResources.accept_button_text);
return;
}
//Validates password
if (!HalliganUtils.IsValidPassword(entryPassword.Text))
{
await DisplayAlert(AppResources.error_title,
AppResources.login_page_password_validation_error,
AppResources.accept_button_text);
return;
}
HalliganCredential credentials = new HalliganCredential
{
Email = entryEmail.Text,
Password = entryPassword.Text
};
await App.RestClient.GetUserAuthAsync(credentials)
.OnSuccess((result) =>
{
Navigation.InsertPageBefore(new MainPage(), this);
Navigation.PopAsync();
})
.OnRequestStarted(() =>
{
activityIndicator.IsRunning = true;
entryEmail.IsEnabled = false;
entryPassword.IsEnabled = false;
})
.OnRequestCompleted(() =>
{
activityIndicator.IsRunning = false;
entryEmail.IsEnabled = true;
entryPassword.IsEnabled = true;
})
.OnHttpError((exception) =>
{
DisplayAlert(AppResources.error_title,
AppResources.login_page_login_failed_message,
AppResources.accept_button_text);
})
.OnUnknownError((exception) =>
{
DisplayAlert(AppResources.error_title,
AppResources.unknown_error,
AppResources.accept_button_text);
})
.Start();
}
}
}
UPDATE
I tried changing the method signatures but didn't work. What I tried:
public async void OnForgotPasswordClicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
and
public void OnForgotPasswordClicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
