Brand New Xamarin Forms App Linking Issues

Brand new Xamarin Forms application with iOS platform project. Added LinkOS_Xamarin_SDK in forms project and iOS project (v1.1.75). Placed the following code in one of my page code behind:
 
sing System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Text;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System;
using Xamarin.Forms;
using LinkOS.Plugin.Abstractions;
using LinkOS.Plugin;
 
 
namespace Printer
{
  public partial class PrinterPage : ContentPage
  {
  public PrinterPage()
  {
  InitializeComponent();
  }
 
  void Handle_Clicked(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
  {
Task.Run(async () =>
{
await Task.Delay(100);
var address = "AC:3F:A4:5B:1E:7E";
Print(address);
});
  }
 
IConnection connection;
 
private void Print(string address)
{
string zpl = "^XA^LL200^FO30,20^A0N,30,30^FDHello World^FS^XZ";
 
try
{
if ((connection == null) || (!connection.IsConnected))
{
connection = ConnectionBuilder.Current.Build("BT:" + address);
connection.Open();
}
 
}
catch (Exception e)
{
//if the device is unable to connect, an exception is thrown
Debug.WriteLine(e.ToString());
}
}
  }
}
 
When the application compiles against a real device in debug mode the following errors are thrown:
 
"_CGImageGetWidth", referenced from:
  -[GraphicsUtilCpcl printImage:atX:atY:withWidth:withHeight:andIsInsideFormat:error:] in libZSDK_API.a(GraphicsUtilCpcl.o)

Note this error does not happen when running on a simulator. Unfortunately, I need a real device to test Bluetooth Zebra printing..
 
I am running the latest version of Xamarin and the latest version of Visual Studio. I have tried this in Visual Studio 2017 for Windows and VS 2017 for MAC with the same result.
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
