WinUI 3 in WinAppSDK 1.8.11

WinUI 3 in Windows App SDK 1.8.11

This release of WinUI 3 ships as part of Windows App SDK 1.8.11. To use it in your app, install the Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK 1.8.260804001 NuGet package.

1.8.11 is a stable servicing release for 1.8. The WinUI-facing change in this release is a focus-restoration fix:

• Fixed an issue where the Storage Pickers (FileOpenPicker, FileSavePicker, and FolderPicker) left the calling WinUI app window without keyboard focus after the file dialog closed. The app now restores its previous focus. See GitHub issue microsoft/WindowsAppSDK#6505.

For the full set of changes, see the Windows App SDK 1.8.11 release notes.
