Windows App SDK 0.8.7 is now available!

Windows App SDK 0.8.7 is a stable servicing release that includes several performance improvements for C#/.NET applications.

• If you're building an app with the Windows App SDK for the first time, follow the installation instructions here.

• If you are already using the Windows App SDK 0.8 and would like to update to the latest release, you can do so by following the update instructions here.

For a detailed list of the performance improvements, see the C#/WinRT 1.6.1 release notes.

Updating to this version

The 0.8.7 package is available at https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.ProjectReunion/0.8.7

To update to this version, you will need to reference the latest Windows SDK package version. To do this, add the property <WindowsSdkPackageVersion>10.0.<sdk_version>.24</WindowsSdkPackageVersion> to your csproj file with the SDK version your app is targeting from the TargetFramework property. For example:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk"> 
    <PropertyGroup> 
        <OutputType>WinExe</OutputType> 
        <TargetFramework>net6.0-windows10.0.19041.0</TargetFramework> 
        <TargetPlatformMinVersion>10.0.17763.0</TargetPlatformMinVersion> 
        <WindowsSdkPackageVersion>10.0.19041.24</WindowsSdkPackageVersion>  
    <PropertyGroup> 

    ...  

This version of the Windows SDK projection will be available in an upcoming .NET 6 and .NET 5 servicing release. After this .NET SDK update is available, you should remove the <WindowsSdkPackageVersion> property from your project file. If this property is not set, you will see an error like: "Error: This version of Project Reunion requires WinRT.Runtime.dll version 1.6 or greater."
