Telerik Reporting Conflicts with SkiaSharp v4

Updated on Oct 15, 2026

Environment

Product	Reporting
Version	20.2.26.1007

Description

I have updated the SkiaSharp package in my project to v4.153.1. When I use the Skia graphics engine for previewing the report, I encounter a System.MethodAccessException when rendering reports in Telerik Reporting after upgrading to version 20.2.26.1007.

Error Message

error

System.MethodAccessException: Attempt by method 'SkiaSharp.HarfBuzz.SKShaper.Shape(System.String, SkiaSharp.SKPaint)' to access method 'SkiaSharp.SKPaint.GetFont()' failed.

Cause

The issue arises due to version mismatches between the SkiaSharp and SkiaSharp.HarfBuzz NuGet packages. When updating one, the other package should also be updated to the same version to ensure compatibility.

Solution

To resolve the issue, synchronize the versions of the SkiaSharp and SkiaSharp.HarfBuzz packages. Follow these steps:

1. Update the SkiaSharp.HarfBuzz NuGet package to match the version of the SkiaSharp package. For example, if using SkiaSharp v4.153.1, update SkiaSharp.HarfBuzz to v4.153.1 as well.

2. If your application runs on Linux, update the "NativeAssets" dependencies for consistency. Update the following packages:

   xml

   <PackageReference Include="SkiaSharp" Version="4.153.1" />
   <PackageReference Include="SkiaSharp.HarfBuzz" Version="4.153.1" />
   <PackageReference Include="SkiaSharp.NativeAssets.Linux" Version="4.153.1" />
   <PackageReference Include="SkiaSharp.NativeAssets.Win32" Version="4.153.1" />

3. After updating the packages, rebuild your application to apply the changes.
