Answer 1

@Harish,

Does any of your Xaml markup include the following setting?

FocusVisualPrimaryBrush="{x:Null}"

or perhaps any of the other FocusVisual properties being set to null like

FocusVisualSecondaryBrush="{x:Null}"

We were getting a very similar error message and observing a similar crashing behavior with our UWP application as mentioned in this post.

And that Null setting was the culprit in our case.

Downgrade your min sdk version to 15xxx.
