Description
Problem Description
When creating a native module with any UI component we receive this error immediately at build time on the ARM64 debug configuration. This error was reproduced while following the instructions for creating a default RNW app with a custom UI module.
System.Reflection.MissingMetadataException: 'Windows.Foundation.IReference1'`
RN Version: "react-native": "0.72.7",
RNW Version "react-native-windows": "0.72.24"
ReactNativeNativeModuleSample.csproj
Base App csproj
Steps To Reproduce
- Create a base C# RNW project
- Create a new C# native module and auto-link
- Add a UI component
- Run an ARM64 debug build.
Expected Results
Do not recieve the system.reflection error at runtime

Research direction
Start by reproducing the ARM64 Debug build from the listed steps with React Native 0.72.7 and React Native Windows 0.72.24. Inspect the linked ReactNativeNativeModuleSample.csproj and base-app csproj while tracing the System.Reflection.MissingMetadataException for Windows.Foundation.IReference. Done means a native UI module builds and runs without this error on ARM64.
