Using the type defined in 'CommunityToolkit.Maui.SourceGenerators\CommunityToolkit.Maui.SourceGenerators.Generators.TextColorToGenerator\TimePickerTextColorTo.g.shared.cs'.

Expected Behavior

Great, i saw the new release and no more build errors!

Will you only support net7 forward or will there be any releases for net6?

We do not plan downgrading to net 6.

so we nightly recommend upgrading to net 7
