[BUG] AppThemeResourceExtension crashes the app after updating the community toolkit version to 10.0.0

[DooNeGo]

Is there an existing issue for this?

Did you read the "Reporting a bug" section on Contributing file?

• I have read the "Reporting a bug" section on Contributing file: https://github.com/CommunityToolkit/Maui/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#reporting-a-bug

Current Behavior

AppThemeResourceExtension crashes the app during initialization on all platforms in Release mode. In Debug, it works as expected.

If the line with AppThemeResource is removed, no exception will be thrown.

Anything else?

No response

[yurkinh]

The same happens for me. Both platforms

[malsabi]

I'm also having this issue on Windows & Android. Reverting back to 9.1.1 resolves the issue.

[baaaaif]

+1
same here

[zwikk]

Same. Not fixed in 11.0.0 😫

[pmahend1]

This issue has not been triaged yet. Someone needs to do it and create PR.

[baaaaif]

Maybe you need to adjust the title and mention that the app crashes and that it's not just an exception that could be caught.

I'm a bit surprised that this doesn't get any attention from the maintainers. Sorry @jfversluis - I'll just tag you as a managing maintainer.

[jfversluis]

@pmahend1 or anyone here, feel free to do so 😉 Its a community project, we're all in this together!

Quick investigation shows its because this path is invoked:

https://github.com/CommunityToolkit/Maui/blob/main/src/CommunityToolkit.Maui/Extensions/AppThemeResourceExtension.shared.cs#L27-L30

More specifically: serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IProvideValueTarget)) is null so that's why it breaks. Now what is the fix, that is the question.

[jfversluis]

Oh found it, it wasn't actually that hard.

Could you try the resulting build from #2460 to verify that fixes it for you?

[baaaaif]

I can confirm that it fixes the problem for me on Android
big thx Gerald

[DooNeGo]

I can also confirm the fix, it works for me on Android and Windows.
thx Gerald

[pmahend1]

@jfversluis Thanks for the fix. I was trying to find a fix but was not able to. I did not know about typeof(IProvideParentValues) 😄
