+  <!-- 
+    This targets file is responsible for handling C#/WinRT compatibility settings for WindowsAppSDK.
+    It sets default values for WindowsSdkPackageVersion and checks for appropriate TFM configuration.
+    
+    Background:
+    C#/WinRT is used to generate .NET projection assemblies for both Windows App SDK and the Windows SDK.
+    On occasion, these must be updated together to maintain compatibility (e.g., with the introduction of 
+    AOT support in Windows App SDK 1.6). But since they are released independently, setting WindowsSdkPackageVersion
+    is sometimes necessary for a project to override the version of the Windows SDK projection implied by the 
+    TFM and the current .NET SDK.
+    
+    This file automatically sets WindowsSdkPackageVersion to the appropriate value for compatibility with
+    Windows App SDK 1.6+, eliminating the need for manual project edits.
+    
+    The default is constructed from two properties that can be overridden:
+    - WindowsAppSDKDefaultSdkVersion: The base Windows SDK version (default: 10.0.17763)
+    - WindowsAppSDKCsWinRTProjectionVersion: The projection version suffix (default: from CsWinRTDependencyWindowsSdkVersionSuffixPackageVersion or 38 as fallback)
+  -->
+
+  <!-- Define minimum required .NET SDK versions for Windows App SDK 1.6+ -->
+  <PropertyGroup>
+    <WindowsAppSDKMinimumNetCoreVersion>6.0.0</WindowsAppSDKMinimumNetCoreVersion>
+  </PropertyGroup>
+  
+  <!-- 
+    Set default WindowsSdkPackageVersion if not already specified.
+    This is specifically needed for AOT compatibility between Windows App SDK 1.6+ and Windows SDK.
