title: Xamarin.Forms async/ await operations not working
body: <p>I have a simple Xamarin.android mobile app which is getting data from API hosted in local PC. Problem is when I run the app it will not get the result as expected. </p>
  
  <p>_client is a HttpClient and I'm able to visit the same URL from emulator's browser and get the data. Following is my code.</p>
  
  <pre><code> protected async override void OnAppearing()
      {
          string content = await _client.GetStringAsync("http://192.168.10.101:1001/api/todo");
          base.OnAppearing();
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>once I hit F5 emulator is firing up and running the app but it's not getting any data. Also when I debugging, once I hit the F10, await statement will execute an application will continue and will not wait.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have any idea about this issue?</p>
  
  <p>I'm using API version 9, level 28 and visual studio 2019
  Thanks.</p>
