Expected behavior

We should be able to add the nuget package easily in the project.

Templates Version

1. "Uno.Sdk": "5.2.108"
2. " Uno.templates" : 5.2.30

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible)

1. Create a MauiEmbeddingApp.
2. Follow all the steps ,
3. When you are in step 5 of Adding Drawing View , it is clearly mentioned that we have to add CommunityToolkit.MVVM in MauiEmbeddingApp\
4. Try Adding the Nuget package manager

fyi @dansiegel, @jeromelaban Ask @Darsh0307 for more info as needed

[nickrandolph]

@Darsh0307 the guide should be updated to use the Mvvm feature to import CommunityToolkit.Mvvm @dansiegel should the guide be updated to set the MauiVersion explicitly?

[dansiegel]

@nickrandolph MauiVersion is set by the SDK you have installed so this should auto increment for the developer over time which is why the template uses $(MauiVersion) instead of an explicit version.

[agneszitte]

fyi @vatsashah45 since you are currently updating the mauiembedding samples to single project. Make sure to keep the documentation properly updated at the same time you are working on migrating the sample please

[jeromelaban]

This issue is now fixed with the auto upgrade of packages from the uno.sdk. This is a generally standard error that can happen when dependencies get updated to later versions than the ones we provide in the template. Bumping Microsoft.Maui.* in Direcctory.Build.props is the way to handle this.
