c# - Xamarin Forms UWP - Unable To Debug Shared Code

Question

I've recently started having this issue for the latest version of Xamarin Forms with .NET standard 2.0 as the code sharing strategy.

I am able to place a breakpoint and stop in any code that lives in the UWP project but if I place a breakpoint in the shared DLL code, the breakpoint turns from solid red to a red outlined circle filled in with white. When I put my mouse over the breakpoint, it says the symbols have not been loaded for that location.

What am I doing wrong to be able to debug the shared code for Xamarin Forms UWP? Android and iOS work.

It's known issue in Visual Studio. Currently, there is a workaround that you could refer.

<PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Debug|AnyCPU' ">
    <DebugType>Full</DebugType>
</PropertyGroup>

Place the above code in the .NET Standard Library csproj file.
