Incompatibility between SettingsExpander and .NET AOT mode

[wtcpython]

Describe the bug

Using SettingsExpander in a WinUI application with AOT mode enabled crashes the program.

在 WinUI 应用中使用 SettingsExpander，并启用 AOT 模式，程序出现崩溃

Steps to reproduce

Method to reproduce the error:
1. Use VS2022 to create a WinUI application.
2. Add a reference to SettingsExpander and add the AOT release to the project file.
3. Replace the default code with the following code and run it

复现错误的方法：
1. 使用 VS2022 创建一个 WinUI 应用
2. 添加对于 SettingsExpander 的引用，并在项目文件中添加 AOT 发布
3. 使用以下代码替换默认的代码并运行

    <controls:SettingsExpander
        x:Name="ClearBrowsingDataButton"
        Header="选择每次关闭浏览器时要清除的内容">
             
        <controls:SettingsExpander.ItemTemplate>
            <DataTemplate x:DataType="local:BrowserDataKind">
                <controls:SettingsCard Header="{x:Bind Name}">
                    <ToggleSwitch IsOn="{x:Bind IsChecked, Mode=TwoWay}"/>
                </controls:SettingsCard>
            </DataTemplate>
        </controls:SettingsExpander.ItemTemplate>
    </controls:SettingsExpander>

namespace WinUIDemo
{
    public class BrowserDataKind
    {
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public bool IsChecked { get; set; } = false;
    }

    public sealed partial class MainWindow : Window
    {
        public List<BrowserDataKind> BrowserDataKindList =
        [
            new() { Name = "浏览历史记录" },
            new() { Name = "下载历史记录" },
            new() { Name = "Cookies 和其他站点数据" },
            new() { Name = "缓存的图像和文件" },
            new() { Name = "密码" },
            new() { Name = "自动填充表单数据(包括表单和卡)" },
            new() { Name = "站点权限" },
        ];
        public MainWindow()
        {
            this.InitializeComponent();
            ClearBrowsingDataButton.ItemsSource = BrowserDataKindList;
        }
    }
}

Expected behavior

The code is expected to run correctly. When I replace SettingsExpander with ListView, the code works fine, so I think it might be a bug in SettingsExpander.

预期代码能够正常运行。当我将 SettingsExpander 替换为 ListView 时，代码正常工作，因此我认为，这或许是 SettingsExpander 的 bug

Mines Better. I installed the setting controls nuget, but I cannot even find the namespace.

@wtcpython Try setting the ItemsSource in XAML. I didn't have the time to explore further, but it works on my end.

public MainWindow()
{
    this.InitializeComponent();
    //ClearBrowsingDataButton.ItemsSource = BrowserDataKindList;
}

<controls:SettingsExpander x:Name="ClearBrowsingDataButton"
    Header="选择每次关闭浏览器时要清除的内容"
    ItemsSource="{x:Bind BrowserDataKindList, Mode=OneWay}">
...

@Tartarusome This is mentioned on the Release Notes. You need to set TargetFramework to 22621:

<TargetFramework>net9.0-windows10.0.22621.0</TargetFramework>

@AndrewKeepCoding Thanks for the suggestion, it worked for me!
