I installed the trial version of Xamarin controls and followed the getting started tutorial to add the XamFunnelChart to the page. The control renders successfully but as soon as one navigates away from the page, either by closing it or navigating to another page, the entire app crashes. This also happens in your sample project, which is out of date, but after fixing references and a few small things, and upgrading the nuget packages, notably Xamarin Forms 4.2.0.848062, it crashes with this crash report as soon as you select another tab or navigate away from the page:

Hello,
Thank you for reporting this. A similar issue was found with Xamarin.Forms version 4 or greater. I would kindly recommend staying on version 2.4 if possible since it's our latest supported version despite the fact that it may cause compatibility issues with either Android or iOS.
There is a work around for DataChart if you clear and remove any series or axis before switching away. I'm not quite sure what could be done about the Funnel Chart at this moment but I'll have to reproduce the behavior first.
I'll let our development team know of this issue though since does seem to be a breaking change with the latest Xamarin.Forms versions.
Should this be done in onDisappearing?
Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, staying with 2.4 is not an option for us. I noticed that other control suites have received service releases in October, is there a plan for Xamarin controls as well in the near future?
