Custom handler freezes VS

See original GitHub issue

Description

Creating a custom ViewHandler freezes VS when running the app.

Steps to Reproduce

Branch ViewHandler - https://github.com/IeuanWalker/Maui.CustomSwitch/tree/ViewHandler

If you run the app on the above branch the app launch screen appears and VS goes into debug mode, but the app never fully launches and VS freezes, and you have to use task manager to kill VS.

If you comment out the an handler registration, the app and VS behaves as normal -

builder.ConfigureMauiHandlers(h => h.AddHandler<SwitchView, SwitchViewHandler>());

https://github.com/IeuanWalker/Maui.CustomSwitch/blob/ViewHandler/Scr/CustomSwitch/AppBuilderExtensions.cs

@mattleibow I’ve started looking into a different approach, you can see what I have done on the ExtentContentViewHandler branch

Saw in the MAUI src code you build another handler on top of the ContentViewHandler, you do this for PageHandler.

Going to be taking a few days off now, but just want to make sure that this would be a good approach, and something the MAUI team expects people to do?

Doesn’t feel like there is a lot of documentation around this sort of stuff
