[NativeAOT] ILCompiler - WinUI - Specified cast is not valid

[sdanev]

Description

I am getting the flowing error when using true.
Check the build error log:

Reproduction Steps

Publish AOT

Expected behavior

NativeAOT publish completes, producing a native DLL (or, at minimum, fails with a diagnostic pointing to the problematic code).

Actual behavior

Reproduction Steps

Publish AOT

Did you miss the actual steps, such as a repro project? See https://sscce.org.

Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore

AFAIK, efcore is not yet AOT compliant. Some issues like dotnet/efcore#37192 were fixed after net10.0 release and check their AOT tracking issue: dotnet/efcore#34446.

After digging little more we find the issue:
Adding those lines into ILLink.Descriptors.xml, make ILCompiler to crash as explained above.

<assembly fullname="WinRT.Runtime" preserve="all">
	<type fullname="WinRT.ComWrappersSupport" preserve="all" />
	<type fullname="WinRT.IObjectReference" preserve="all" />
