Current C++/WinRT override the GetResolvedWinMD target. However if the import order changes this override can easily break, like it does when NuGet imports the targets as part of PackageReference.

This PR removes the override.

Validation:

  • OS
  • WinUI
  • Terminal
  • YourPhone
  • React-Native

I thought PackageReference was not supported for C++?

There seems to be ways to enable it, see dotnet/project-system#2491

Normal validation passed. Since the react-native team is also experimenting with PackageReferences, tagging @JunielKatarn to see if he can test this for react-native. Probably don't have to block on that.

To validate this, copy the Microsoft.Windows.CppWinRT.targets over the one in the NuGet package you currently use (I would recommend doing this without any PackageReference changes) and run a build locally.

#977 removed an override of a built-in CX target that wasn't working reliably. Because of this, various targets to resolve the WinMD would no longer find the WinMD file. This never worked reliably but it turns out the Xaml designer uses one of these targets. This PR adds a BeforeTargets to ensure the WinMD will be resolved.

Fixes #981
