WinUI3 The project needs to be deployed before we can debug

Im trying to build a WinUI3 project created with default templates. I created a WINUI3 class library and connected it to a Blank App. I am getting a dialog on build that says The project needs to be deployed before we can debug. Please enable Deploy in the Configuration Manager.

But when I go to Configuration Manager, the Blank App's Build and Deploy checkboxes are already checked. Deploy checkbox is disabled for the class library.

  1. In Solution Explorer, expand Blank App project / Dependencies / Projects, does it list the class library? If not, rt-click Add References, select the class library.
  2. rt-click Blank App project / Build Dependencies - is the class library checked? If not, CHECK it. (Should happen automatically when you do #1 above.)
  3. Blank App - is it set as Startup Project? (It isn't meaningful to deploy a Class Library, so the app has to be the startup.)
