Description

when trying to deploy the app using hot restart (windows11) I get an error about skia sharp

Steps to Reproduce

Using a maui app with SkiaShart.Extended.UI.Maui 2.0.0 you get

An error occurred: 'Could not resolve type with token 0100002b from typeref (expected class 'SkiaSharp.GRBackendRenderTargetDesc' in assembly 'SkiaSharp, Version=2.88.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=0738eb9f132ed756')'. Callstack: ' at System.Reflection.MonoMethodInfo.GetParametersInfo(IntPtr handle, MemberInfo member)

upgrading to a preview version 3.0.0.0-preview.13 seems to fix it. @mattleibow any ideas .. I did create a noddy repo that I wanted to upload but in that noddy one it happened twice and then settled, in our production app that I cannot obviosly upload its all the time and the preview fixes it. any ideas - is there a chance to promote that preview to stable?

Did you find any workaround?

upgrading to a preview version 3.0.0.0-preview.13 seems to fix it. Can this made stable , it helps with internal policies.
