[Problem/Bug]: Error on initialization using WebView2CompositionControl on .net core 8.0 on a shared project

[vnoves]

What happened?

I have a shared project with a WPF with a WebView2CompositionControl, on a project with .net framework 4.5 everything works but then loading the WPF on a .net core 8.0 project I get the following on initialization of the WPF:

Could not load type 'Microsoft.Web.WebView2.Wpf.WebView2CompositionControl' from assembly 'Microsoft.Web.WebView2.Wpf, Version=1.0.2045.28, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=2a8ab48044d2601e'.

Importance

Important. My app's user experience is significantly compromised.

Runtime Version

Repro steps

Create a WPF with a WebView2CompositionControl in a shared project. Call that shared project from a .net core project, and it will throw an error when initializing. I tried all the versions where WebView2CompositionControl is available and had the same issue

Repros in Edge Browser

Yes, issue can be reproduced in the corresponding Edge version

Regression

No, this never worked

Last working version (if regression)

I tried on a regular project (not a shared one) and I'm encountering the same issue

@vnoves Can you share a small sample project where you encounter this error?
