[Problem/Bug]: When I call a method of a host object that returns a simple dictionary<string,string>, the returned value is always null

What happened?

I am using the following project:
https://github.com/rgwood/MinimalWebView

I have updated the SDK to the latest version (it also fails with older versions).

I add a simple hostobject like this:

`
[ComVisible(true)]
[ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.AutoDual)]
public class Prueba
{

public object Hacer(object obj)
{
    Dictionary<string, string> dic = new Dictionary<string, string>();

    dic.Add("texto", "hola");
    dic.Add("numeros", "sdsd");

    return dic;
}

}`

And in JS I do:

let valor = window.chrome.webview.hostObjects.sync["Prueba"].Hacer(123)

Expected value: valor = { texto: "hola", numeros: "sdsd" }
I received always: valor = null
