RealParent on Syncfusion.Maui.Core.BadgeSettings has been Garbage Collected.

[DBenS]

Description

While debugging my MAUI 9.xx app using the latest Syncfusion library (VS2022 v17.13.6), I see this message in the OUTPUT window:

Microsoft.Maui.Controls.Element: Warning: The RealParent on Syncfusion.Maui.Core.BadgeSettings has been Garbage Collected. This should never happen. Please log a bug: https://github.com/dotnet/maui

The versions I have here, are:

• Syncfusion: 29.1.38
• Syncfusion Maui Toolkit: 1.0.4
• Microsoft.Maui.Controls: 9.0.60

Steps to Reproduce

1. Add a Syncfusion Badge into your XAML, like this:

<Grid Grid.Column="2">

    <badgeView:SfBadgeView IsVisible="{Binding IsTimingEnabled}" HorizontalOptions="Center" VerticalOptions="Center" BadgeText="{Binding RemainingTimeDisplay}">
        <badgeView:SfBadgeView.Content>
            <Button Text="🔒" FontSize="24" WidthRequest="100" HeightRequest="60" CornerRadius="15"/>
        </badgeView:SfBadgeView.Content>
        
        <badgeView:SfBadgeView.BadgeSettings>
            <badgeView:BadgeSettings Type="Error" Animation="Scale" Offset="-20,0" Position="TopRight" AnimationDuration="100" />
        </badgeView:SfBadgeView.BadgeSettings>
        
    </badgeView:SfBadgeView>
    
</Grid>

2. Execute your app in DEBUG mode and after 5-10 seconds the message appears in OUTPUT window.

Although it seems very similar, the version of the platform and all the involved libraries are quite different.

@DBenS I think there are multiple instances of this issue and while the details vary, I do think they have a common cause. So still closing this as a duplicate for now, thanks!
