Unhandled exception. System.Reflection.CustomAttributeFormatException: 'AllowMultiple' property specified was not found.

Description

My operating environment is the virtual machine Anolis OS 8.9 (Linux x64), Basic image using aspnet: 9.0. I cross compile an arm64 architecture image using Docker Buildx and start container testing using the following command.

docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -e ASPNETCORE_URLS= http://0.0.0.0:8080 -v /home/zytek/publish/appsettings.json:/ home/zytek/app/appsettings.json -v /home/zytek/publish/Logs:/home/zytek/app/Logs -v /home/zytek/publish/config.json:/home/zytek/app/wwwroot/app/config.json -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro --name=data-analytics-platform --platform=linux/arm64 mirrors.ziyitek.cn/library/data-analytics-platform:latest-arm64

Do you use any trimming method? What is the configuration?

[ericstj]

Agree with @huoyaoyuan that this could be caused by trimming. Could you let us know if this is used? Also is it 100% repro or only sometimes?

Also CC @steveharter in case it looks like a problem with reflection invoke.

I checked all csproj files in the project and did not use any PublishTrimmed configuration

In the environment I described, this error is 100% likely to recur.

[huoyaoyuan]

Can you share a simplified repro project for the issue?

Is your deployed assembly file broken? You can inspect with tools like ILSpy and check if anything is broken.

[steveharter]

This looks similar to #108919 where type metadata seems to get corrupted when stopping the application. This is also an AspNetCore case.

@AlexKuai could this be happening when the app is closing, or with a debugger attached?
