Invalid IL code in AllControls sample

See original GitHub issue

I’m getting the following exception when starting the AllControls sample, for both iOS, Android and macOS (and I guess the other platforms too?):

System.InvalidProgramException: Invalid IL code in AllControls.AppModule:view (AllControls.Model,Microsoft.FSharp.Core.FSharpFunc`2<AllControls.Msg, Microsoft.FSharp.Core.Unit>): IL_28a2: stloc     953

The view function seems to produce invalid IL.

I don’t know why, it stopped working after #530 apparently. Almost same code in https://github.com/fsprojects/Fabulous/tree/0.43.0 doesn’t trigger the issue.

I played a little with the view function, and found that if I extract the code for the last match case (that we added recently, but there wasn’t the issue at that moment) into its own function, the issue disappears…
