Why do you remove wasdk target when both "uwp, wasdk" are specified in GenerateAllSolution.ps1?

[HO-COOH]

Describe the bug

I just wasted several hours trying to figure out why is my wasdk gallery project suddenly missing in the main toolkit project. And I finally found this out. I don't understand what this comment is saying. And from my experience, the two gallery (the uwp, and wasdk) works perfectly in peace before.

And if that's a necessary change, you should document it clearly (and oh look even the screenshots is not reflecting the change), and also change the GenerateAllSolution.bat to an option like:

• uwp, wasm
• wasdk, wasm

The current default value is just a confusing contradiction to what you did, and will keep others wasting more hours on this.

Oh and a more funny thing is, why removing wasdk target instead of uwp when uwp is considered dead?

You can find more background on this here and here.

The short answer is that both UWP with modern .NET (not uap) and Windows App SDK are using the exact same TFM and cannot be loaded in the solution simultaneously using different UI frameworks. As of adding modern UWP, one or the other must be requested when generating the solution.

If you need to work with WinUI 3 / Wasdk instead of our default (uwp), pass the -winui 3 parameter in when generating the solution:

.\tooling\GenerateAllSolution.ps1 -MultiTargets wasdk,wasm,android,ios -Components Media,SettingsControls -winui 3 

The Components and MultiTargets params can be customized as needed for your scenario. Removing these params will generate uwp or wasdk + wasm, depending on the -winui value given.
