I’m running into this now with a control using the latest Skia preview. It prompted me to ask “When does a control require its own Handler?” I had thought that the Skia Handler would be enough but apparently not. I agree, Maui should work out of the box. The current behavior, throwing an Exception, is confusing at best.
Agree here. I think the current exception is a lot easier to troubleshoot than a view rendering wrong. I still think we need a way to make 3rd party controls “just work” without the need for the .UseXXX methods on the builders, since the current alternatives aren’t great.
