Export Nuget Package (.targets and .nuspec): what am I doing wrong?

Hey all. I'm currently facing an issue with nuget package generation. I have a UAP project/library that builds correctly and i'm able to integrate it with a WinUI application so that i can access its funcionalities (WinUI project depends on UAP project).
Currently i'm trying to export this UAP project into a Nuget package, but i guess something is missing and i'm writing

.nuspec

.nuspec

and

.targets

.targets

file incorrectly because the WinUI application fails to execute (even though it builds and is able to find references of my UAP project).

- WinUI project
- platform is

x64

x64

- RuntimeIndentifier is

win10-x64

win10-x64

- TargetFramework is

net6.0-windows10.0.22621.0

net6.0-windows10.0.22621.0

- UAP project
- platform is also

x64

x64

- WindowsTargetPlatformVersion is

10.0.22621.0

10.0.22621.0

I'm attaching the nuget explorer view of my package. You can see that i exported everything from the bin/ folder to the lib/net.../ folder (

.winmd

.winmd

.exp

.exp

.lib

.lib

even tho .lib is not needed...), except for the

.dll

.dll

, which i'm putting in the

runtimes/win10-x64/native

runtimes/win10-x64/native

folder.
In the

.targets

.targets

file, i'm linking the

.winmd

.winmd

file (kinda of a header file of windows runtime) to the

.dll

.dll

, as you can see in the xml view.

When i try to run the application, 2 things would happen:
- the application silently stops debugging after one second or two
- it will give me an error saying

An assembly specified in the application dependencies manifest (WinUIApp.deps.json) has already beeen found but with a different file extension:
  package: <uap-proj-name>, version 0.0.1
  path: lib/net6.0-windows10.0.22621/<uap-proj-name>.winmd
  previously found assembly: (...)/WinUIApp/bin/<uap-proj-name>.dll

What am I doing wrong here?
