Code

The best way to share code for larger projects is a link to a GitHub repository: https://github.com/user/repo/tree/bug-123

But, you can also share a short block of code here:

var animation = SkiaSharp.Skottie.Animation.Create(sourceFileAbsolute);

Expected Behavior

A valid (not null) Animation instance should be returned.

Actual Behavior

A null animation instance is returned instead.
