Invalid IL in Microsoft.Maui.Handlers.NavigationViewHandler

[cornem]

Description

Today I upgraded our app from net6.0-android to net7.0-android. The app works fine in Debug, but fails to start in Release. AOT compilation was already disabled.

Looking at Logcat, I find this error:

android.runtime.JavaProxyThrowable: System.InvalidProgramException: Invalid IL code in Microsoft.Maui.Handlers.NavigationViewHandler:CreatePlatformView (): IL_002a: ldnull

There is a closed issue #7214 with apparently the same error. Looks like that issue got closed without any change to MAUI, but it isn't completely resolved apparently.

Version: maui-android 7.0.49/7.0.100 VS 17.4.33103.184

Steps to Reproduce

Not entirely sure; regression from .NET6.0 without any change to my code.
