Desktop C++ users should use: "UWP XAML hosting API provided by the Windows 10 SDK (version 1903 and later)."

That's on current WinUI/UWP XAML, the new version in preview (WinUI 3) pulls out components deeper into the stack so it can run a couple more Windows versions back (to 1803 I think)

Having actually tried to use XAML Islands to get some UWP UI controls into a WPF application, I can say that the experience was absolutely horrible and I ended up giving up and not using the UWP control after all. Truly, truly horrible. This was about a month ago. I hope they do better this time.
