[iOS] Application crashes when ToolbarItem is created with invalid IconImageSource name

[nivetha-nagalingam]

Description

When creating a ToolbarItem with an IconImageSource property set to a name that doesn't correspond to any existing image resource in the project, the iOS application crashes with an unhandled ArgumentException. This occurs during the initialization of the ToolbarItem, preventing the application from launching successfully.
Note: While fixing this issue enable the test case from HostApp: Issue2222.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Issue2222.cs.zip
2. Run the Application on an iOS
3. Observe the Exception.

Expected Behavior:
The application should display the ToolbarItem without an icon, allowing the app to continue running without crashing, while potentially logging the image loading failure for debugging purposes.

Actual Behavior:
The application immediately crashes during startup with an unhandled System.ArgumentException stating "Unable to load image stream", preventing any user interaction with the app.

Hi @nivetha-nagalingam, this issue has been verified in Visual Studio 17.13.0 Preview 2.1(9.0.22) using the .cs file you provided, but I can't reproduce your issue. Could you help check whether the project I changed is consistent with yours? Do I need to change other code? Or could you provide your complete project so we can investigate it further? Looking forward to your reply!

I'm unsure if the correct way to handle this is to ignore and continue. I feel that crashing is fine, but the error should be better.

Ideally, this should crash in Debug, to let the dev fix it, and ignore on Release ?
