Description

When using a project with packages.config for nuget package management and including the WebView2 SDK nuget package, references are added to the Microsoft.Web.WebView2.Core.dll, Microsoft.Web.WebView2.Wpf.dll and Microsoft.Web.WebView2.WinForms.dll. Core I get as it contains common functionality shared between WPF and WinForms (and is in fact not for .NET Core). But why are both WPF and WinForms references added? The Nuget package should target the appropriate project type or be split such that there are different nuget packages.

Research direction

Start with a packages.config project that includes the WebView2 SDK NuGet package and inspect the references it adds. Compare the WPF and WinForms project types and the Microsoft.Web.WebView2.Core.dll, Microsoft.Web.WebView2.Wpf.dll, and Microsoft.Web.WebView2.WinForms.dll references. Done means the package selects only the appropriate UI references or provides a clear package split.
