WinUI crash observed with updating Template Studio (5.3) application to latest stable WinAppSDK (1.3.230331000)

[adrastogi]

Describe the bug

I'm seeing a crash in a newly-created Template Studio application if I upgrade to the latest available version of WinAppSDK. My understanding is that this scenario should work.

Steps to reproduce the bug

On Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise 2022 (64-bit) - 17.5.4 with the Template Studio 5.3 extension installed:

1. Create a new Template Studio project with the following settings:
2. F5 the application to verify that it builds and launches successfully.
3. The application depends on the 1.2.230118.102 Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK package, so NuGet Package Manager detects that the project could be updated to 1.3.230331000. Install this newer version.
4. Rebuild and relaunch the application.

Expected behavior

I would expect the application to launch successfully. However, the application fails to launch. Snippet of the stack (I couldn't get symbols to resolve properly).
