[BUG] SkiaSharp.Views.WinUI.Native.BufferExtensions unhandled exception in previously working code.

[Braysoft]

Description

Net 8.0 fails and now tested on Net 9.0 also fails.
My existing Store App AIIR works without issue locally and globally.When updating to certification it fails certification on a clean windows 11 machine with the following debug Exception thrown at 0x762B8FA4 (KernelBase.dll) in AIIR.exe: WinRT originate error - 0x80131534 : 'The type initializer for 'SkiaSharp.Views.WinUI.Native.BufferExtensions' threw an exception.'.
Unhandled exception at 0x7568C5B1 (combase.dll) in AIIR.exe: 0xC000027B: An application-internal exception has occurred (parameters: 0x1559AB40, 0x00000001).
I have TRACE through my code and all set up code works fine but Skiasharp fails to initialise.
I have also checked through the canvas drawing code with no offending code.
Oddly when i have the source code in visual studio I have no issues with running the code either in debug or release.
Because the issue only happens on a clean win11 machine I am debugging remotely into a clean win11 VM.I can not replicate the code in any other way.

Code

The best way to share code for larger projects is a link to a GitHub repository: https://github.com/user/repo/tree/bug-123

But, you can also share a short block of code here:

// some C# code here

You can also share some XAML:

<!-- xaml code here -->

Expected Behavior

Previous to windows updating and with minimal code updates from the previous version(all lines checked) I expected no issues.
I have tried updating skaisharp to latest version and no difference in behaviour.

Actual Behavior

Exception thrown at 0x762B8FA4 (KernelBase.dll) in AIIR.exe: WinRT originate error - 0x80131534 : 'The type initializer for 'SkiaSharp.Views.WinUI.Native.BufferExtensions' threw an exception.'.

After more investigation and trying to replicate the exact issue with a blank project the following short code fails for I believe the same reason:
commenting out the canvasView from the Content grid solves the issue but with no working canvasView.
These are the sections of code from my store Apps source code that only fail when packaged on a clean win11 machine but here the failure occurs within visual studio to hopefully make things easier to solve!

using SkiaSharp;
using SkiaSharp.Views.Maui.Controls;
using SkiaSharp.Views.Maui;
namespace MauiApp4
{

public partial class MainPage : ContentPage
{
    int count = 0;
    public static SKCanvasView canvasView;

    public MainPage()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        Grid stocker = new Grid
        {
            ColumnSpacing = 15,
            RowDefinitions =
            {
                new RowDefinition(),
                new RowDefinition(),
                new RowDefinition(),
                new RowDefinition(),
                new RowDefinition(),
                new RowDefinition(),
                new RowDefinition(),
                new RowDefinition(),
                new RowDefinition(),
                new RowDefinition(),
                new RowDefinition()


            },
            ColumnDefinitions =
            {
                new ColumnDefinition(),
                new ColumnDefinition(),
                new ColumnDefinition(),
                new ColumnDefinition(),
                new ColumnDefinition(),
                new ColumnDefinition(),
                new ColumnDefinition(),
                new ColumnDefinition()

            }
        };

        canvasView = new SKCanvasView();
        canvasView.PaintSurface += OnCanvasViewPaintSurface;


        Content = new Grid
        {

            HorizontalOptions = LayoutOptions.Fill,
            VerticalOptions = LayoutOptions.Fill,
            Children =
            {

               canvasView,
                stocker,


            }
        };

       
    }

        void OnCanvasViewPaintSurface(object sender, SKPaintSurfaceEventArgs args)
    { }

    private void OnCounterClicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        count++;

        if (count == 1)
            CounterBtn.Text = $"Clicked {count} time";
        else
            CounterBtn.Text = $"Clicked {count} times";

        SemanticScreenReader.Announce(CounterBtn.Text);
    }
}
