In designer however the xaml is databinding via the ViewModelLocator – but designer fails. For example SearchResultsPageViewMode won’t display as a result the constructor is failing. So, design time experience is not great.

What approach are you providing to alleviate this?

I see in the IoC.cs you check for design time, but I don’t see any of these types (xaml base types) being registered there for location.

Same thing occurs on DetialsPage.xaml.
