Make sure you stop using the metapackage. The metapackage is only there for backwards compatibility with older 3rd party libraries that are still on pre-1.8

This should be Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK.WinUI. Goes for all of them. This could have a ripple effect on other libraries you reference which still reference 1.7 like SkiaSharp.Views.WinUI which would need to make the same change.
