Im currently reading trough this book.
Already at the beginning of the book I have a problem. I have Primary
ToolbarItems and Secondary
ToolbarItems. But none of them are shown. What am I doing wrong?

The ToolbarItems
needs a Navigation Page to show them up. So modify MainPage wrapped by a navigation page:
MainPage = new NavigationPage(new MainPage());
