Unable to launch the dialog box, when using Shell page

[vk-makam]

Description

I am using AppShell along with Prism.DryIoC.Forms in one of our projects. We are unable to use the DialogService in AppShell pages (Tabs). We are using dialogService.ShowDialog("DemoDialog");

The same code is working fine in the normal ContentPage

Steps to Reproduce

1. Launching the AppShell using MainPage = new AppShell();
2. Created a DialogDemo.xaml and DialogDemo.xaml.cs (as mentioned in the Prism Issue 1825)
3. Trying to launch the DialogDemo using DialogService in ViewModel

Expected Behavior

The DialogDemo should appear

Actual Behavior

Nothing happens

Basic Information

• Version with issue: v7.2.0.1367
• Last known good version:
• Xamarin.Forms version: v4.1.0.618606
• IDE: Visual Studio Mac 2019 (v8.2.1 build 19)

Prism does not support Shell. See #1809

This is something that will need to be done in a separate effort from general "Shell Support". While #1809 is in fact labeled "Shell Support" what we're really talking about there is the Navigation Service. Also this should be fairly straight forward to handle where Shell Navigation is still pending fixes from the Xamarin.Forms team. @vk-makam please provide a simple reproduction app and we can reopen the issue.

Hi Brain,

Thanks for the quick reply, I don't know about this. I will try to change them using TabbedPage/ MasterDetailPage.
