Issue Details
When an invalid template name is provided, the app crashes on Android and iOS when relaunching the app.
Root Cause
Inconsistent exception handling in StaticResourceExtension - it returned null when an exception handler was present but threw an exception when debugger is not attached.
Description of Change
Modified StaticResourceExtension.cs and ApplyPropertiesVisitor.cs to always throw exceptions for invalid StaticResource references, regardless of whether an exception handler is present. Previously, the code returned null and allowing the app to continue. The fix ensures consistent behavior by creating the exception once, optionally logging it through the exception handler if available, and then always throwing it.
Tested the behavior in the following platforms
