Hi Matteo Pagani, thank you for the clear and detailed instruction!
I have encounter one problem that I was not able to figure out: when adding references to my C# project, the "Shared Projects" section is empty and I was not able to get "Microsoft.ReactNative.SharedManaged" from anywhere. In a C++ project in the same solution the "Microsoft.ReactNative.Cxx" reference is available.
My project is based on react-native-windows 70.0.3 and I found https://github.com/microsoft/react-native-windows/pull/5091 saying that SharedManaged was removed from the package, but I have no idea how to replace it or where was it moved. Any chance you could point me in the right direction, please?

 

Best regards,

Bogna
