(cherry picked from commit 73cff65) The wapproj `GetResolvedWinMD` target tries to get a winmd from every cppwinrt executable we put in the package. But we DON'T produce a winmd. This makes the FastUpToDate check fail every time, and leads to the whole wapproj build running even if you're just f5'ing the package. EVEN AFTER A SUCCESSFUL BUILD. Setting GenerateWindowsMetadata=false is enough to tell the build system that we don't produce one, and get it off our backs.

I'm working on making the FastUpToDate check in Vs work for the Terminal project. This is one of a few PRs in this area.
FastUpToDate lets vs check quickly determine that it doesn't need to do anything for a given project.
However, a few of our projects don't produce all the right artifacts, or check too many things, and this eventually causes the
wapprojto rebuild, EVERY TIME YOU F5 in VS.This third PR deals with the Actual fast up to date check for the CascadiaPackage.wapproj. When #11804, #11805 and this PR are all merged, you should be able to just F5 the Terminal in VS, and then change NOTHING, and F5 it again, without doing a build at all.
The wapproj
GetResolvedWinMDtarget tries to get a winmd from every cppwinrtexecutable we put in the package. But we DON'T produce a winmd. This makes the
FastUpToDate check fail every time, and leads to the whole wapproj build
running even if you're just f5'ing the package. EVEN AFTER A SUCCESSFUL BUILD.
Setting GenerateWindowsMetadata=false is enough to tell the build system that
we don't produce one, and get it off our backs.
teams chat where we figured this out

however, that's not the only thing that "GetTargetPath" checks.
[3:38 PM] Dustin Howett
oh yeah more info: wapproj calls GetTargetPath on all projects it references
[3:38 PM] Dustin Howett
when it calls GTP on WindowsTerminal.vcxproj it is getting back a winmd (!)

here's the magic

it checks if any Link items specify GenerateWindowsMetadata
