Widget does not appear in widget board after deploying from visual studio 2022

[Vargese-antony]

Describe the bug

To examine the way widgets works, we have used the sample from the following repo,
https://github.com/microsoft/WindowsAppSDK-Samples/tree/main/Samples/Widgets/cs-console-packaged

Once the deploy command is successful, we opened the widget board to pin the widget, but could not see the widget.

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Clone C# source code from the repo https://github.com/microsoft/WindowsAppSDK-Samples/tree/main/Samples/Widgets/cs-console-packaged
2. Build the solution and deploy from visual studio 2022(refer screenshot 'Deploy_from_visual_studio_SS')
3. Open the widget board
4. The widget is not available in the 'Add widget' dialog to be pinned(refer screenshot 'Add_Widget_Dialog_Without_Deployed_Widget')

Expected behavior

The deployed widget should be available in the widget board to be pinned
