I have reconfigured Windows App Runtime dependecies and installed 3 versions the modified the apps to adapt to those versions but it still fails. How ca I resolve this. The earlier prototype worked but now I cant figure out whats happening

### Steps to reproduce

Here is the github repository : https://github.com/ManuelPrhyme/AutoTable.git

### Expected behavior

I expect the published App to run so I can create a functional installer for it. I even attempted to bundle the installer with an exe file for Windows App SDK but it still didnt open

### Actual behavior

Application does not open, it fails silently in published mode

### Is this a regression?

I have three versions installed on my PC, From 2.2.0 up to 2.4.0, I tried to reconfigure my application to work with all three versions that are installed but it still didn't work. In debug mode it builds and opens successfully but when I publish the application, the application fails silently with the errors that I put up there. Because it's a WinUI application I removed the publish stream and it still doesn't open. An earlier version did work but I still can't put a finger on why the earlier version worked and why this can't work.

### Are there any workarounds?
