Template issues

[jeromelaban]

From Discord:

Anyone know why I only have Uno Platform App UWP template (snapshot of my avail templates, dark theme screenshot) and not Uno Platform App WinUI as shown in screen shot from https://platform.uno/docs/articles/getting-started-tutorial-2.html ?

I followed https://platform.uno/docs/articles/get-started-vs-2022.html

Thanks for the report. Which of the screenshots is from your own installation?

In case this will help. Here is the output of dotnet --info

That looks a big ugly. I put the output into a text file to make easier for you to read.

[jeromelaban]

Thanks. So you installed the templates and you did not have them when you created the screenshots above, is that correct?

[BinkersSoft]

Correct

[BinkersSoft]

Gentle ping to see if a solution has been found or is in progress.

[jeromelaban]

A solution has been found, we'll be publishing an updated build. That being said, it's only a matter of filtering and it should not be preventing you from creating an app. Is this still the case?

[BinkersSoft]

We are not prevented in creating an app. Not having the full set of templates limits us from transitioning away from UWP to WinUI which we understand to be the direction new app development is going.

[jeromelaban]

Got it. Thanks for the update.
