`PInvoke` is inaccessible due to its protection level

[sakgoyal]

Actual behavior

Similar to #936
I am unable to get this working and I get this error:

seems like I have a dependency that also uses this and explicitly sets public to false. Is there away around this?
I have WinUIEx as a dependency
https://github.com/dotMorten/WinUIEx/blob/main/src/WinUIEx/NativeMethods.json

Expected behavior

The error should not happen just because another dep has set public to false. (at least thats my understanding of why the error is happening)

Repro steps

1. NativeMethods.txt content:

Shell_NotifyIconGetRect
Shell_NotifyIcon

2. NativeMethods.json content (if present):

{
  "$schema": "https://aka.ms/CsWin32.schema.json",
  "public": true
}

3. Any of your own code that should be shared?

Context

• Target Framework: net9.0-windows10.0.19041.0
• LangVersion: preview

C# reports this warning when you don't have a local PInvoke class but a referenced assembly does but defines it as internal.

To use the PInvoke class, you'll have to install CsWin32 into this project and set it up with some APIs to emit. Or change the referencing assembly to emitting it publicly.

I am new to C# so I don't fully understand what that means.

from my screenshot, you can see that I DO have CsWin32 installed into the project. But it is also installed as a transitive dependency inside WinUIEx.

and set it up with some APIs to emit. Or change the referencing assembly to emitting it publicly.

I have the NativeMethods.txt and json files already there so im not sure what you mean by this
