[BUG] An ExecutionEngineException is thrown when an SKGLView is assigned to ContentView.Content

[pauldendulk]

Description

When a class that is inherited from ContentView assigns an SKGLView to it's Content field this results in a ExecutionEngineException with the message "Exception of type 'System.ExecutionEngineException' was thrown.", there is no stack trace and the application shuts down.

It only occurs when creating a MAUI 9 project. Not when creating a MAUI 8 project.

Using SkiaSharp 3.116.1.

Steps to reproduce:

• Create a default MAUI 9 template (with everything updated to the latest to date).
• Add SkiaSharp reference
• Add the UseSkiaSharp in MauiProgram
• Create a class like the 'MapControl' below
• Assign that class to the MainWindow Content
• The application will crash.

Code

Here is a minimal sample to reproduce it:

https://github.com/pauldendulk/skiasharpcrash

Some snippets from that repo:

using SkiaSharp.Views.Maui.Controls;

namespace MauiApp1;

public class MapControl : ContentView
{
    public MapControl()
    {
        Content = new SKGLView();
    }
}

var mapControl = new MapControl();
Content = mapControl;

Expected Behavior

No crash

Actual Behavior

An ExecutionEngineException with the message "Exception of type 'System.ExecutionEngineException' was thrown." and the application shuts down.

We've found some similar issues:

• [BUG] .Net MAUI 9.0 Windows platform application crashes when using the SKGLView control #3113 , similarity score: 83%

This one is similar, maybe the same problem at heart, but in my bug report we don't need to do anything special with package mode. It is just a default template adding an SKGLView.

• [BUG] SKCanvasView control crashes in .NET 7 and 8 MAUI #2648 , similarity score: 82%

This one is different. It simply does not call UseSkiaSharp

This is probably the same issue: https://github.com/mono/SkiaSharp/issues/2968

If you are going to release your app in Microsoft Store only, you can fix this error by setting WindowsPackageType to MSIX, and creating a launch profile with commandName MsixPackage. This will create a packaged app (MSIX).
