Known Issue During CMake Process

If you encounter the following error while running CMake without Visual Studio 2022:

error C2039: 'wait_for': is not a member of 'winrt::impl'

This issue may occur due to an outdated CPPWinRT library. To resolve it, install the Microsoft.Windows.CppWinRT NuGet package using the following command:

nuget install Microsoft.Windows.CppWinRT

Alternatively, ensure that your development environment is using an updated version of CPPWinRT. The best option to avoid this issue is to use Visual Studio 2022.
