ILogger instance not initialized in parameter of precompiled Azure function

I have written a precompiled Azure Function project in Visual Studio 2017 in C# following the steps described here or here. I want to replace TraceWriter logging with Application Insights logging through the Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.ILogger interface. For that I updated the Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs Nuget package to version 2.1.0-beta1, which includes the ILogger binding that enables binding directly to the Application Insights logger. I have also added the app setting APPINSIGHTS_INSTRUMENTATIONKEY with a valid Application Insights instrumentation key. After replacing the TraceWriter parameter of my function with an ILogger parameter, I trigger the function and get the following error response:

{

}

So no instance of ILogger can be created. However, if I create a project with a function script, instead of a precompiled function, then the ILogger instance is correctly instantiated. Does this mean that the instantiation of ILogger only works with function scripts?? I hope that's not the case, so what should I add to the setup of my precompled function to make it work?
