unoplatform
ResourceNameToResourceString converter does not find the resource altough it exists.
Describe the bug
Using the converter to obtain a named resource provokes a NullReferenceException in WindowsCommunityToolkit and an empty string in the Uno.WindowsCommunityToolkit.
Steps to Reproduce
Launch the attached solution in Windows head, a NullReferenceException should be thrown after MainPage.InitializeComponent() is executed. If the xaml with the Converter is commented it does not throw. Launch the attached solution in WPF/Wasm head, a TextBlock with "Hello World", should be seen. The TextBlock which is using the Converter shows an empty string..
The resource is defined in Strings/en/Resources.resw and the same resource name is in a property of the code-behind of MainPage.xaml and x:binded to the Text property of the TextBlock.
Expected behavior
No error should be produced and the string resource should be set to the TextBlock.
Environment
NuGet package(s): Uno.WinUI Uno.WinUI 4.4.13, CommunityToolkit.WinUI.UI 7.1.2, Uno.CommunityToolkit.WinUI.UI 7.1.100-dev.15.g12261e2626
OS: Windows 11 21H2 22000.739
IDE: Visual Studio 2022
IDE version: 17.3.0 preview 2

Hi @Suriman Thanks for reporting this.
The issue on the Windows Head comes from the WindowsCommunityToolkit. since this is the library you are using in the references
For WASM and WPF, I will be validating why the converter is not finding the string and instead it returns an empty String.
