Issue with Tizen.WebView in Samsung TV Emulator

I am looking into developing an app that displays dynamic web content on the Tizen platform using .NET. I’m running into trouble, however, when I try to instantiate a Tizen.WebView object in my ElmSharp-beta project using the Samsung TV emulator- the app simply crashes and there is no useful information in the emulator logs.

I followed this guide to the letter:
https://docs.tizen.org/application/dotnet/guides/webview/webview/
[edit: updated link as https://docs.tizen.org/application/dotnet/guides/connectivity/webview/ no longer works. Note that the WebView class is deprecated.]
