not recognized microsoft.windows.vision in winui blanck app

lsb safari 0

❓ Question (Rephrased in English for Microsoft Support or Forums):

I'm developing a WinUI Blank App using the following packages:
`<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Graphics.Win2D" Version="1.3.1" />
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Windows.SDK.BuildTools" Version="10.0.26100.1742" />
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK" Version="1.7.250513003" />
`
I want to use Microsoft.Windows.Vision, but the namespace is not recognized in my project. There is no available assembly reference, metadata, or documentation for this API. ❓ Is Microsoft.Windows.Vision publicly available for WinUI apps, or is it internal/private to apps like Microsoft Photos?

You need to use some experimental versions like 1.8.250410001-experimental1

as noticed at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/ai/apis/text-recognition

and target framework as explained at https://github.com/microsoft/WindowsAppSDK/issues/5127#issuecomment-2648581683

I have done these steps but it still gives an error

I am using a virtual machine with fairly good hardware and resources but according to Microsoft it is not a copilot+pc.

Microsoft.Windows.Vision is recognized when i use latest experimental version +22621 target.

But I cannot use AI because those requirements are needed :
