Yes

Tell us about the problem

In my sample application to show the memory leak issue, I have two pages. On first page there is only button and on tap on that button, we are navigated to page 2. On Page 2, I have a Label in StackLayout.

Now, when we set page transition to 'slide', it is causing a memory leak on Android API Level 23. Memory keep on increasing on transition till OOM. When I tested that on emulator with API Level 21 and 22, It is not causing any memory leak.

Please check the below heap dump taken on API 23 version showing ImageViews being generated on slide transition are remaining in memory.

Attaching the path2gc for this image, which may help you in finding the memory leak root.

When I checked, what these images are, I found that it is creating screenshot of both the pages on navigation. Below are that Images, which are keep on adding in memory on transition.

Also, I found that, it is not releasing Label in Page 2 on transition. So Labels also keep on adding into memory.
