0.8.2

[dayman40]

Windows App SDK 0.8.2 is now available

Windows App SDK 0.8.2 is a stable servicing release that a couple more critical bugs for 0.8.0.

Bugs fixed in Windows App SDK 0.8.2:

• Windows App SDK and WinUI 3 are now supported in Visual Studio 2022 Preview 2 and above.
• For .NET apps, you may receive the following error when passing in an array of enums: Object contains non-primitive or non-blittable data.
• Writing using the HandWriting Panel inside a textbox causes a crash
• Icons/images always load at their 100% scale value rather than based on the monitor scale value
• Garbage collection of EventSource<T> causes subsequent failure to unsubscribe handlers (see GitHub issue for more details)
• Security fix – see CVE-2021-34533 for more details.
• SwapChainPanel.CompositionScaleChanged sometimes returning incorrect CompositionScale values after changing display scale

The limitations and known issues for v0.8 also apply to v0.8.2, unless marked otherwise in our documentation.

Upon upgrade from 0.8.1 to 0.8.2 I get an error on build that I don't see ref'ed in the release notes.

It's a confusing error message because I already have SDK 5.0.400 (the latest available) and the workaround with (WindowsSdkPackageVersion) doesn't seem to work?

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error This version of Project Reunion requires WinRT.Runtime.dll version 1.3 or greater.
Please update to .NET SDK 5.0.205 or 5.0.302 or later.
Or add a temporary Microsoft.Windows.SDK.NET.Ref reference of version 10.0.*.18 or later.
For example,
<PropertyGroup>
<WindowsSdkPackageVersion>10.0.<Target Windows SDK Build Number>.18</WindowsSdkPackageVersion>
</PropertyGroup>
MyAppUI C:\Users\user.nuget\packages\microsoft.projectreunion\0.8.2\build\Microsoft.ProjectReunion.targets 21

As in this doesn't help:
<PropertyGroup>
<WindowsSdkPackageVersion>10.0.18362.18/WindowsSdkPackageVersion>
</PropertyGroup>

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error NETSDK1148 A referenced assembly was compiled using a newer version of Microsoft.Windows.SDK.NET.dll. Please update to a newer .NET SDK in order to reference this assembly. MyAppUI C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\5.0.400\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\targets\Microsoft.NET.Windows.targets 55

=================

Also changing FrameworkReference in every combination with WindowsSdkPackageVersion didn't resolve the issue:
<ItemGroup>
<FrameworkReference Update="Microsoft.Windows.SDK.NET.Ref" RuntimeFrameworkVersion="10.0.18362.16" />
<FrameworkReference Update="Microsoft.Windows.SDK.NET.Ref" TargetingPackVersion="10.0.18362.16" />
</ItemGroup>

To this:
<ItemGroup>
<FrameworkReference Update="Microsoft.Windows.SDK.NET.Ref" RuntimeFrameworkVersion="10.0.18362.18" />
<FrameworkReference Update="Microsoft.Windows.SDK.NET.Ref" TargetingPackVersion="10.0.18362.18" />
</ItemGroup>

Makes the compile time error go away but there is a runtime error in it's place:
An assembly specified in the application dependencies manifest (MyAppUI.deps.json) was not found:
package: 'runtimepack.Microsoft.Windows.SDK.NET.Ref', version: '10.0.18362.18'
path: 'Microsoft.Windows.SDK.NET.dll'

@huichen123 @Scottj1s any ideas here?

[huichen123]

unfortunately WindowsSdkPackageVersion is not supported until .net sdk 5.0.302. Does rebuild help?

[Scottj1s]

nuget restore -force?

looks like the deps.json is not correct - it should certainly have recorded the dll as coming from the framework package
