[Senextech]

I'm uisng VS 2022 17.2.0 preview 3.0 with the standard MAUI template.  If I add "using Microsoft.Maui.Essentials;" I get the error:

Error CS0234 The type or namespace name 'Essentials' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft.Maui' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

I was my undertsanging Microsoft.Maui.Essentials is now part of Maui yet I get this error.
