Error publishing .NET MAUI project: the target "_GenerateAppxPackage" does not exist

I have a .NET MAUI project that was created with VS2022 Preview 2, and it builds without errors or warnings and works as expected in the debugger. Prior to updating Visual Studio to Version 17.4.0 Preview 4.0 I was able to publish the project as a sideloadable MSIX from within VS.
Since updating, I get the following error when I click Create in the Create App Packages wizard:
MSB4057 The target "_GenerateAppxPackage" does not exist in the project.
The error is listed against the MAUI project's .csproj file.
I've tried creating a separate new, default MAUI project in the new preview - this publishes ok and (as far as I can see) doesn't contain _GenerateAppxPackage anywhere within its files or project structure. So for now I'm assuming this isn't something new that was added with the preview.
I found some references to _GenerateAppxPackage on the web but they appear to refer to Azure integration. My project is a stand-alone data transformation app that doesn't even access the net.
I'm at a loss what to try next. I don't know what this target refers to, where it should "exist" within the project, or what it does. Can anyone help me understand the problem and/or point me to a solution?
Update: 2022-10-28:
I tried deleting the project structure and creating it from scratch with File -> New Project, then adding back only the .cs and .xaml files. Publishing the recreated project gives me the same error.
I also tried uninstalling the VS preview and re-downloading and installing it. Again, publishing the project gives me the same error.
I still have no idea what is causing this, or even where to start looking.
I faced with the same problem at Visual Studio 2022 17.4.0 (net6.0-windows10.0.19041.0).
The simplest solution for me was be using the command dotnet publish directly.
At root of project just write in terminal:
dotnet publish -f net6.0-windows10.0.19041.0 -c /p:RuntimeIdentifierOverride=win10-x64
I learned today that MAUI is now in the mainline Visual Studio 2022 edition, I've tried using that instead of the preview, and I can confirm that the problem goes away. I wish I'd known about this earlier...

Telerik's AppBuilder not grouping files

I am using the AppBuilder to create a NativeScript app. I am at the point that I need to start looking into environment settings to get the app ready for QA and production.
I followed the article: http://docs.telerik.com/platform/appbuilder/nativescript/build-configurations/application-settings in order to set the config.js file I have that contains some configuration information. I created config.debug.js and config.release.js but Visual Studio only added the debug version under the config.js file group.
So, when I build in Debug mode, the app picks up config.debug.js and everything is fine. When I try to build in release mode, the app crashes because it cannot find config.js. Attached is a screenshot that shows how Visual Studio sets the files.
It seems to me that since the release version is not included in the file group nativescript does not recognize it during the build.
I am using Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise. App Builder 2017.1.202.9
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thank you.
As suggested by Preslav from Telerik, I deleted the .debug.abproject from the root of my application and also removed the reference to it in MyProject.iceproj.
Once this was done, I was able to create the .debug.js and .release.js files without any further issues.

Creation of Release Build Failed in UWP

I am trying to build a UWP project in Release. But i am not able to create the build and I am getting an error could not copy the file "C:\Users\kumara krishnan\.nuget\packages\System.Private.Uri\4.0.0\runtimes\win8-aot\lib\netcore50\System.Private.Uri.dll" because it was not found. Also I am able to build and deploy when i keep it in debug mode. How to fix this issue?
It seems there is something wrong with your .nuget environment. You can try following steps to fix it.
Firstly delete the whole System.Private.Uri folder under C:\Users\kumara krishnan\.nuget\packages\.
Then in Visual Studio, open the Visual Studio Options dialog, click on the "NuGet Package Manager" node and make sure you have checked "Allow NuGet to download missing packages" and "Automatically check for missing package during build in Visual Studio".
After this, you can just rebuild your project and Visual Studio will automatically restore the NuGet packages your project used and download whole "System.Private.Uri" files.
You can also create a blank app and create a new instance of Uri without adding other references manually to check your environment.

Copying from existing project

I have some problem in visual studio.Ok here is the scenario
first i add an existing project to my project in visual studio,and after that i tried to compile and run and it works properly...and then i exit the visual studio. and copy the folder or the visual studio solutions into my laptop.after that i open the visual solutions in my laptop after the visual studio loads,the project that i add before is greyed out and empty...can you help me on this please how can i see back my project that i add before.
When you add an existing project to a solution, you're adding a link. You didn't copy the actual project, you just copied the link, which shows as empty on your laptop.
Right-click on the project and look at the properties, you should see the location. This should show you the problem.
You won't be able to recover that project without going back to the source, you don't have the code on your laptop.
-t.
Do you copy the project off your portable drive to your hardrive? Sometimes copying it off external drives has solved that issue for me.
