Original PR merged to main: #22982
Fixes #22665
(cherry picked from commit fbc11f2)
Description
A mono bug currently prevents EF Core 5.0 from being used on Xamarin Android (and possibly other mono-based platforms). This PR replaces the API call causing issues on mono with a workaround that does not.
Customer Impact
EF Core 5.0 is currently unusable with Xamarin Android.
How found
Reported by a user: #22665
Test coverage
We unfortunately do not have test coverage for Xamarin yet (#8792). We do have testing around this code area which confirms the fix doesn't introduce other regressions in general.
Regression?
Yes, from 3.1.x
Risk
Low, the change is a very local replacement of a single API call with another code pattern that does the same thing.
