> On a related note, going to the MAUI Shared section in the project properties, shortening the Application Title and rebuilding the solution does not reliably fix the issue. The element in the project file gets updated but AppxManifest.xml retains the old value, at least sometimes. Closing and reopening the solution, then rebuilding seems to fix the problem reliably.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue through the MAUI Shared project properties: shorten ApplicationTitle, rebuild, and compare the project file with the generated AppxManifest.xml. Read the linked issue and comment for the reported behavior; done means changing ApplicationTitle reliably updates AppxManifest.xml without closing and reopening the solution.
