Impossible to compile in Release with the WinAppSDK Unpackaged target

[ArchieCoder]

Current behavior

I get the following error with a brand new project or my current project:

C:\Users\USERNAME.nuget\packages\microsoft.windowsappsdk\1.5.240404000\buildTransitive\Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK.SelfContained.targets(36,9): error : The platform 'AnyCPU' is not supported for Self Contained mode.

Expected behavior

It should compile as debug

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible)

1- Create new project
2- Select Release
3- F5 / Compile

Thanks for the report. This has just been fixed in the 5.2.132 release. In general, you can also try reproducing issues by upgrading to the latest dev builds to see if it's fixed or not.

How to know the latest build version? It's not mentioned on GitHub.

See in this doc on how to update the Uno.Sdk (don't forget to upvote this issue!)

For "big" Microsoft issue like this, I would not hold by breathe for a fix anytime soon.

What about a step in the compilation that checks once a day if a new SDK is available? It could modify global.json OR warn in the output.

The nuget team has expressed direct interest in building this feature, so you can hold your breath a bit ;) Still, we're thinking about providing a top banner in VS to mention that there's an update in the uno.sdk.
