Updating from 5.3.31 to 5.4.22 fails

[TopperDEL]

According to this link I should only change the Sdk-value in global.json to the new version. But on Nuget the Uno.Sdk-max-Version is 5.4.5, whereas I expected it to be 5.4.22.

If I switch to the latest 5.4.5 Uno.Sdk I get the following error:

And this is my csproj:

<Project Sdk="Uno.Sdk">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFrameworks>
      <!--net8.0-maccatalyst;-->
      net8.0-windows10.0.19041;

      <!--net8.0-browserwasm;-->
    </TargetFrameworks>

Thanks for the report. This is a WinAppSDK temporary issue, make sure to follow https://platform.uno/docs/articles/migrating-from-previous-releases.html#winappsdk-16-considerations for upgrading.

[jeromelaban]

Thanks. We'll have to find which is importing it, and you may be able to find the origin using a binlog.

[TopperDEL]

I've created a binlog, but I'm unable to see where the reference comes from. Maybe you can see it @jeromelaban ?
msbuild.zip

[jeromelaban]

This may be because there's another project below that is referencing a different version of WinAppSDK, or maybe just a bug of WinAppSDK that duplicates the use of that particular binary. It's likely that creating winui-only repro and posting to the WinAppSDK repository will be needed.

You could also create an msbuild target that alters the build to remove the duplicate file.

@TopperDEL please try doing full git clean -xfd and see if it helps - I got this error as well after updating, but it seems that it was somewhere in temp files or bin/obj and after clean it seems to work fine again

[TopperDEL]

@MartinZikmund That did the trick!
I also had to add this PropertyGroup as mentioned in the docs, but then I could update to 5.4:

<PropertyGroup>
    <!-- Remove when the .NET SDK 8.0.403 or later has been released -->
    <WindowsSdkPackageVersion>10.0.19041.38</WindowsSdkPackageVersion>
</PropertyGroup>

Thank you both!
