[Bug] Xamarin Essentials Web Authenticator & Open Browser

[champcbg]

Description

For reference:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/essentials/open-browser?context=xamarin%2Fandroid&tabs=android
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/essentials/web-authenticator?context=xamarin%2Fandroid&tabs=android

I am using both of these features and everything works as expected when I was on an emulator that targeted android 11. It was working without adding the recommended configurations from the documentation above.

when the app is run on an emulator that targets android 13, neither of these features works anymore. the browser just opens and never finished loading the page. If the browser is closed the app will recognize a cancel method was called.

from the documentation, I have tried with and without the configurations and to no avail.

This might be fixed by #2090 would you be able to try the resulting NuGet package from that PR?
