The RealParent on Microsoft.Maui.Controls.Button has been Garbage Collected

[ThysBrits]

Description

We are developing an app on .Net 8 and today this exception popped up:

The RealParent on Microsoft.Maui.Controls.Button has been Garbage Collected. This should never happen. Please log a bug: /~https://github.com/dotnet/maui

The issue was only reported by Raygun and we don't have any stack trace of it. It happened on a deployed version of our app on a Android 9 device.

Steps to Reproduce

We will have to investigate what caused this, as it has only happened on a production device.

Could the issue be fixed by #23405? It's not yet released.

Thanks for the feedback, will keep an eye on it. It has only happened twice, so very random.
