Update 4:  Xamarin.Forms 3.0 Service Release 3 is now available (v 3.0.0.550146)

You can install it using NuGet package manager or download it directly from the Xamarin.Forms releases page: https://github.com/xamarin/Xamarin.Forms/releases

For confirmation, here's a screenshot of a build and deploy using 3.0.0.550146 with Linker set to "SDK and User Assemblies" - https://www.screencast.com/t/ZMEd74var6

Update 3: Merged

The fix has been merged into Xamarin.Forms master and will be in 
- Xamarin.Forms 3.0 sr3 (Service Release)  
- Xamarin.Forms 3.1 pre3 (Pre-release)

At the time of writing this, those builds have not yet been released (latest is sr2 and pre2). I will come back and post a final update once they are available and I've personally tested both.

Update 2: The Xamarin dev team at Microsoft acted quickly and was able to fix the problem.

Update: We were able to isolate and identify the regression in Xamarin.Forms that causes this issue. It has been reported and escalated to the Xamarin team. They've preliminarily identified it as a regression bug.

If you'd like to follow that issue in addition to this UI for Xamarin item, you can do so here:  https://github.com/xamarin/Xamarin.Forms/issues/2835 

Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Hello,
Android and iOS have both the same linking problem. Here is the iOS one:

Using Hari Mynam's suggestion worked but my APK jumped up 30 megs.  This is not an acceptable solution at all.

After updating Android project Linker Behaviour to "Don't Link" I don't see any linker error for Ad-hoc and release builds.

Thanks,

It seems that the release is for today (as written by the team in my ticket) but I dont know if this issue is addressed or not

Hello,

Would this problem be addressed for the R2 version?
