When updating to Telerik MAUI 8.0.0 and building the app on Android 5.1 the controls that use RadTextInput internally crash

Controls like, DataGrid, RadEntry, ComboBox, AutoComplete, Numeric, Masked

"System.IO.FileNotFoundException: 'Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Maui.Controls.Compatibility, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'. The system cannot find the file specified.'"

Occurs when creating a blank .net maui project using .net9 and adding Telerik MAUI NuGet Package latest version 8.0.0

Repro steps:

1. Create a new dotnet9 basic project in visual studio.
2. Launch it on windows. it runs.
3. Add the Telerik.UI.for.Maui.Trial package, version 8. (don't bother adding the UseTelerik line to MauiProgram.cs, it'll fail either way).
4. Clean and Rebuild the solution.
5. Debug the app on windows again. It fails on launch with a file not found error that seems to relate to:
"Exception thrown: 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' in Telerik.Maui.Controls.Compatibility.dll"
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: 'Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Maui.Controls.Compatibility, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'. The system cannot find the file specified.'

Our product is also in use in Hebrew language (RTL) and i noticed that hebrew letters are not shown in the RadDataGrid.

I assume its a but since in other controls i use i havnt encountered this issue (yet).

Please please fix...
This is very important for us.

Many thanks in advance!

When setting BorderBrush, BorderThickess, FocusedBorderBrush and FocusedBorderThickness do not apply on the entire entry control, they apply only on bottom. 

<VerticalStackLayout>
    <telerik:RadEntry Text="Hello World" TextColor="DarkRed" 
                        Background="Wheat"
                        FocusedBorderBrush="Yellow"
                        FocusedBorderThickness="10"
                        x:Name="entry" 
                        BorderBrush="DarkRed"
                        BorderThickness="8"
                        CornerRadius="5,7,7,5"
                        WidthRequest="150"/>
</VerticalStackLayout>

And the result:

Workaround: 

Place the entry in a RadBorder:

This was a regression when I upgraded to 7.1.0. 

Before, when the editor was empty and had a height set, you could tap anywhere to start editing.  Now, I can only start editing by tapping the top of the editor.

I tested this only on Android.

when setting MaxLength to RadEntry and this Entry is used in the Masked control template, the following exception occurs:

System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Index and length must refer to a location within the string. (Parameter 'length')
   at System.String.ThrowSubstringArgumentOutOfRange(Int32 startIndex, Int32 length)
   at System.String.Substring(Int32 startIndex, Int32 length)
   at Telerik.RadStringHelper.Replace(String inText, Int32 startIndex, Int32 length, String replacementString)
   at Telerik.Maui.Handlers.RadMaskedEntryHandler.OnShouldChangeCharactersEvent(Object sender, ShouldChangeCharactersEventArgs args)
   at Telerik.Maui.Platform.RadMauiEntry.OnShouldChangeCharacters(Object sender, ShouldChangeCharactersEventArgs args)
   at Telerik.Maui.Handlers.RadTextFieldDelegate.ShouldChangeCharacters(UITextField textField, NSRange range, String replacementString)

when applying Grouping and RowHeight to the DataGrid and expand the row details, the following happens -> The DataGrid in the RowDetails only appears for alternate rows. 

In addition the RowHeight does not apply to the Grouping Row.

Workaround:

Remove the RowHeight from the DataGrid and set the CellContentStyle property to the columns and set the TextMargin to the DataGridTextCellStyle, and ButtonMargin to the DataGridToggleRowDetailsCellStyle. Here is an example when setting them to 0:

            <telerik:DataGridTextCellStyle x:Key="cellStyle"
                                           TextMargin="0"/>


            <telerik:DataGridToggleRowDetailsCellStyle x:Key="toggleStyle"
                                                       ButtonMargin="0"/>


            <telerik:RadDataGrid.Columns>
                <telerik:DataGridToggleRowDetailsColumn CellContentStyle="{StaticResource toggleStyle}"
                                                        IsFrozen="True"/>
                
                <telerik:DataGridTextColumn PropertyName="Country"
                                            CellContentStyle="{StaticResource cellStyle}"
                                            IsFrozen="True" 
                                            CanUserReorder="False"  />
                
                <telerik:DataGridTextColumn PropertyName="Capital" 
                                            CellContentStyle="{StaticResource cellStyle}" />
            </telerik:RadDataGrid.Columns>
