Set Method not found for 'Text' when using this.Bind on UITextField

[Iván Mejía]

Hi everyone,

  I am testing for the first time RectiveUI (v 6.4.0.1) and I have implemented a simple Login UIViewController. I am not using Xamarin.Forms, all my code is pure iOS API.

This is my ViewController's code:

public partial class LoginViewController : ReactiveViewController, IViewFor<LoginViewModel>

{

public override void ViewDidLoad()

      {

         base.ViewDidLoad();

         // bind UI...

         _viewModel = new LoginViewModel();

         // bind the fields...

         this.Bind(_viewModel, vm => vm.IsValid, lvc => lvc.SignIn.Enabled);

         this.Bind(_viewModel, vm => vm.UserEmailProperty, lvc => lvc.UserEmail.Text);

         this.Bind(_viewModel, vm => vm.PasswordProperty, lvc => lvc.Password.Text);

         Observable.FromEventPattern(x => SignIn.TouchUpInside += x, x => SignIn.TouchUpInside -= x)

            .Subscribe(args => ViewModel.ExecuteSignIn.Execute(null)); 

      }

}

The properties UserEmail and Password are of type UITextField.

All works fine on the simulator, once I go to the real device I get the error message: 

Set Method not found for 'Text' on the lines shown in bold above, any ideas? 

Thanks for any clue(s),

Ivan.

In case someone else find the same problem, this is the way I worked around it, instead of using this.Bind as in the bold lines shown on my previous post I replace those using directly the LINQ approach passing an Observable an then subscribing to the data stream, like this:

var resUE = from evt in Observable.FromEventPattern(x => UserEmail.EditingChanged += x, x => UserEmail.EditingChanged -= x)

               select ((UITextField)evt.Sender).Text;

resUE.Subscribe(s => ViewModel.UserEmailProperty = s);

var resP = from evt in Observable.FromEventPattern(x => Password.EditingChanged += x, x => Password.EditingChanged -= x)

              select ((UITextField)evt.Sender).Text;

resP.Subscribe(s => ViewModel.PasswordProperty = s);
