WinUI 3.0 AOT - ListView ArgumentException for any Input List

I am using WinUI 3.0 with Net 9.0 and am trying to use Native AOT, but i always get an ArgumentException while using ListView or ItemsRepeater.

The code is working fine without AOT.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

        </DataTemplate>
    </UserControl.Resources>
    <Grid>
        <ListView
            Grid.Row="1"

    </Grid>

        {
            this.InitializeComponent();

            Repeater.Loaded += AOTSourceTest_Loaded;
        }

        private void AOTSourceTest_Loaded(object sender, Microsoft.UI.Xaml.RoutedEventArgs e)
        {

            Repeater.ItemsSource = new List<string> { "Item 1", "Item 2", "Item 3", "Item 4", "Item 5" };
        }
    }

I tried to use ItemsRepeater, but it also has an ArgumentException.
Argument 'source' is not a supported vector.

Tried ObservableList and string array, but it did not help.

There are at least two ways to fix this issue in the .csproj (you can use one or the other or both):

1. add this in <PropertyGroup> XML element

   <AllowUnsafeBlocks>true</AllowUnsafeBlocks>
   

2. add an explicit package reference to the C#/WinRT package (current version is 2.2.0) to an <ItemGroup> XML element

   <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Windows.CsWinRT" Version="2.2.0" />
   

I'm not sure why you don't get a compilation warning because AOT compilation usually requires unsafe blocks to be enabled. It may be a bug, seems similar to this: https://github.com/microsoft/CsWinRT/issues/1891
