Description
In the project PhotoEditor, why is there exclamation mark in the Reference, prompting "..... references could not be resolved"
The steps to reproduce are as follows
- Download this sample https://github.com/microsoft/WindowsAppSDK-Samples.git.
- Open WindowsAppSDK-Samples/Samples/PhotoEditor/cpp-winui/PhotoEditor.sln , then the references may be empty.
- Rebuild the project, close PhotoEditor.sln, and then reopen it.
- Check the references, you will find exclamation mark prompt.
- But if you choose the Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK version to 1.0.4, there is no exclamation mark.
My Visual Studio version:Visual Studio Community 2022 17.3.4.
This question comes from Microsoft Q&A (Project references in a WinUI 3 C++ project) and I would like to know how this problem can be solved.

Research direction
Start with WindowsAppSDK-Samples/Samples/PhotoEditor/cpp-winui/PhotoEditor.sln and reproduce the empty or unresolved references after rebuilding and reopening it in Visual Studio Community 2022 17.3.4. Compare the behavior when Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK is set to version 1.0.4, then determine what reference-resolution behavior should be corrected and verify the references no longer show exclamation marks.
