## Description This PR deprecates the `Microsoft.ReactNative.WindowsAppSDK` project. ### Type of Change - Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected) - This change requires a documentation update ### Why These projects/templates were early, experimental work for a future of RNW apps being WinAppSDK-based. Since we're not going in that direction, we shouldn't persist allowing projects to be created using it. Resolves #11744 ### What * Deleting the `Microsoft.ReactNative.WindowsAppSDK` project files * Removing all jobs/tasks related to building/testing/publishing `Microsoft.ReactNative.WindowsAppSDK` * Removes the `cs-app-WinAppSDK` app template and specific new project creation code **Note:** The existing `UseWinUI3` msbuild property and corresponding `USE_WINUI3` build flags are intentionally not touched in this PR, to maintain the minimum support for some customers. ## Screenshots N/A ## Testing N/A ## Changelog Should this change be included in the release notes: Yes The Microsoft.ReactNative.WindowsAppSDK experimental project has been deprecated and will no longer be supported.

Summary
As we work on the plan-of-record Fabric implementation based on Composition, we no longer need the experimental projects based on the Windows App SDK.
Specifically, we need to:
react-native-windows:./vnext/Microsoft.ReactNative.WindowsAppSDK.slnsolution./vnext/Microsoft.ReactNative.WindowsAppSDK/directory and projects./vnext/template/cs-app-WinAppSDK/template./vnext/PropertySheets/External/Microsoft.ReactNative.WinAppSDK.*.*property sheets./vnext/Scripts/Microsoft.ReactNative.WindowsAppSDK.nuspecnuget config file@react-native-windows/cliRnwNativeBuildWinAppSDKjob) from./ado/publish.yml./ado/jobs/cli-init.yml./ado/jobs/windowsappsdk.yml./ado/stages.ymlMotivation
These projects/templates were early, experimental work for a future of RNW apps being WinAppSDK-based. Since we're not going in that direction, we shouldn't persist allowing projects to be created using it.
