[MAUI] How to update Microsoft.Windows.SDK.BuildTools from 22000 to 22621

Question

MAUI project restricts the Microsoft.Windows.SDK.BuildTools version to be 22000. However, many features and bug fixes are presented in 22621. Even if I add the latest WindowsAppSDK and set the target framework of Windows to be 22621, the Windows.SDK.BuildTools is still restricted to be the 22000 version.

Are there any way to update this nuget package?

Thanks.

Hello,

Are there any way to update this nuget package?

Yes, you can use dotnet CLI to install a specific version of a package

Firstly, please open command line or PowerShell, then use cd and your project path to navigate to your project.

For example, I have project called MauiCollectionView and project path is "C:\Users\username\source\repos\MauiCollectionView\MauiCollectionView\", we can use the following command line to navigate it.

   cd C:\Users\username\source\repos\MauiCollectionView\MauiCollectionView\  

Then you can use following dotnet CLI to update Microsoft.Windows.SDK.BuildTools from 22000 to 22621

   dotnet add package Microsoft.Windows.SDK.BuildTools --version 10.0.22621.1
