SIGSEGV when setting ImageSource

Question

I'm getting

[libc] Fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV), code 2 (SEGV_ACCERR), fault addr 0xff1b5ffc in tid 1579 (tipass.MyApp), pid 1579 (tipass.MyApp)

when trying to set Source of Image (on android).

I understand that the reason of this error usually is InvokeOnMainThread or something like that, but can not find out what exactly. I would be grateful for any suggestions

XAML:

<Image Source="{Binding GifImageSource, Converter={StaticResource byteArrayToImageSourceConverter}}" IsAnimationPlaying="True" BindingContext="{Binding Ticket}" IsVisible="{Binding IsActivated}" RotationY="{Binding GifRotationY}" Aspect="AspectFill"/>

byteArrayToImageSourceConverter - is a converter from Xamarin Community Toolkit

ViewModel:

await MainThread.InvokeOnMainThreadAsync(async () => {
  var bytes = ResourceFileToBytes("img.gif");
  GifImageSource = bytes;
});

---

public static byte[] ResourceFileToBytes(string r)
{
  var assembly = typeof(ByteArrayHelper).GetTypeInfo().Assembly;
  byte[] buffer = null;
  using (var stream = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream($"MyApp.Resources.{r}"))
  {
    if (stream != null)
    {
      long length = stream.Length;
      buffer = new byte[length];
      stream.Read(buffer, 0, (int)length);
    }
  }
  return buffer;
}

img.gif is placed in Resources folder, build action = embeddedResource

EDIT:

Removed converter from XAML:

XAML:

<Image Source="{Binding GifImageSource}" IsAnimationPlaying="True" BindingContext="{Binding Ticket}" IsVisible="{Binding IsActivated}" RotationY="{Binding GifRotationY}" Aspect="AspectFill"/>

ViewModel:

await MainThread.InvokeOnMainThreadAsync(async () => {
  var bytes = ByteArrayHelper.ResourceFileToBytes("img.gif");
  var stream1 = new MemoryStream(bytes);
  Ticket.GifImageSource = ImageSource.FromStream(() => stream1);
});

The result is the same:

[libc] Fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV), code 2 (SEGV_ACCERR), fault addr 0xff1b5ff8 in tid 4839 (tipass.MyApp), pid 4839 (tipass.MyApp)

What am I doing wrong?

EDIT:

found my problem on xamarin's github:
[Bug] ImageSource.FromStream() causes Android to crash with animated .gif files. #10895

I managed to get this to work by saving files from webservice to storage first.

viewModel:

public ImageSource MyImageSource{ get; set; }
...
if (imageLoaded) {
  string documentsPath = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData);
  string localFilename = "img2.jpg";
  string localPath = Path.Combine(documentsPath, localFilename);
  File.WriteAllBytes(localPath, bytes);
  MyImageSource = ImageSource.FromFile(localPath); // file from webservice
} else {
  MyImageSource = "img.gif"; // default file, stored in drawable folder on android
}

XAML:

<Image Source="{Binding MyImageSource}" IsAnimationPlaying="True" Aspect="AspectFill"/>
