Build conflicts caused by standalone WebView2 and embedded WebView2 (in Windows App SDK)
Describe the bug
Hi,
Can someone please help me on determining why I am having file conflict issues with WebView2.Core.dll? Below is my csproj file:

@DJRM2021 This is a known incompatibility between EntityFramework and WindowsAppSDK, both of which publish WebView2.Core.dll. There are several workarounds discussed here: https://github.com/microsoft/WindowsAppSDK/issues/1856
Maybe we could make a configuration or option in the MSIX tooling to not include WebView2 if the app will not even use it?
Reopening, this for tracking WebView2 nuget reference factoring work. Retitled for clarity.
The primary issue tracking this is #https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/issues/5689 - closing as duplicate. Also, happy to report it is fixed in 1.6.240701003-experimental2.
