This exception occurs when:

  • you've updated Visual Studio 2022 to Version 17.11.5; or
  • you're using the CommunityToolkit and have explicitly set the Windows SDK version in the .csproj file due to its requirement, such as:
<WindowsSdkPackageVersion>10.0.19041.41</WindowsSdkPackageVersion>

Cause

The exception is related to a known issue in the SkiaSharp library with WindowsSdkPackageVersion 10.0.19041.38 and above:

Solution

To resolve this issue, update the .NET Windows SDK version in your project. Modify the project file (.csproj) to include the following line, which specifies a version of the Windows SDK where the issue has been fixed:

<WindowsSdkPackageVersion>10.0.19041.54</WindowsSdkPackageVersion>

By adding this line to your project file, you ensure that your application uses a version of the Windows SDK that includes the necessary fix for the NotSupportedException related to managed vtable types.
