Recently I am trying to migrate some UWP libraries to WinUI3. But I found a lot of class conflicts between these two packages. Concretely, some existing netstandard2.0 projects has dependencies on Sytem.Runtime.WindowsRuntime. With this library, some WinRT API could be called in the library. When I tried to add a reference to these projects from a WinUi library, there were so many conflicts on classes like:
Windows.UI.Color
Windows.Foundation.Points
How to resolve these conflicts?

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!
If you want to migrate your UWP libraries to winui3, you will need to map some of the UWP APIs to their Windows App SDK equivalents. There is an API list about this and you could take a look at this document: Mapping UWP APIs and libraries to the Windows App SDK.
Thank you.
