Description

.NET 6 is the future of .NET development, and MSIX is the future of Windows app deployment. Please add support for Framework Packaging to allow creation of .NET 5 apps packaged with MSIX without redistributing .NET 6 with each app that depends on it.

Ideally, this will be followed up with a Visual Studio template referencing .NET 6 to use this framework package, along with the user's choice of UI framework (WinUI, WPF, WinForms, or blank/none).

Consider working with the Windows Store team to notify users when their framework package .NET runtime is out of date (assuming major releases are packaged separately).

Edit: Updated from 5 to 6, as my request remains the same but clearly the .NET 5 window has passed.
