XF.UWP crash when navigating back

🐛 Bug Report

I have a XF.UWP application.

I am currently using v4.0.11, because with v4.1.0 it does not render any animation on UWP (I will file a separate bug report for that)

v4.0.11 can trigger a crash (unhandled nullref exception) This happens when I quickly navigate away from a page with an Lottie animation. On UWP it seems to need approx 200ms to start animating the visual after displaying the 'begin state'. If I quickly navigate back (for instance with the back button on my mouse), and I am within this 200ms (the animation has not started yet), the app crashes with a nullref exception. If I wait for the animation to start moving, and move back then, all is fine.

Expected behavior

no crash.
