Description

The included sample project for a self-contained deployment is based on dotnet 6. When creating a new solution (Winui3 packaged with package creation project) in Visual Studio, the template is based on dotnet 8 (what makes sense to me), but packaging it to a msixbundle will not produce a working output. So it would be helpful to have some sample, to see how to configure the project to get a running project (running from Visual Studio, packaged to msixbundle, published for the store).

Research direction

Start with the included self-contained deployment sample based on .NET 6 and compare it with a new .NET 8 WinUI 3 packaged solution in Visual Studio. Verify that the updated sample runs from Visual Studio, produces a working msixbundle, and supports publishing for the store.
