Message=Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

vmars316 Thanks for your patience. Here are the team's thoughts on your first question:
- You may be using the release package and not the pre-release package of the .NET WebView2
- There is a known bug based on configurations with our previous package. If you upgrade to the pre-release version of the newest package we released last week, it should work. (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/releasenotes#10674-prerelease)
If you are still running into issues, you can check out our WebView2-specific feedback repo here:
https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/WebView2Feedback
And it looks like someone from the team already addressed your second question, but let us know if you still have additional questions!

Visual Studio 2019
NET Framework 4.8
Microsoft.Web.WebView2 1.0.721-prerelease
From Microsoft Store I get this argument for the rejection: Unfortunately, we can’t test your product, the product's primary functions are not usable.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch the app.
2. Notice that selecting any of the options shows the error "Unhandled exception has occurred in your application".
If you want to see my first version of my app click on the link an insert this code:PJDD9-GWPJ9-C4QM7-67R34-2CYYZ.

You can install my first version on this link published 30.11.2020 and there was no problem to publish.
