how to make UWP class library to support WindowsAppSdk apps

I have developed a UWP class library , and it is already used in various projects.

Now I want to make this UWP class library to support WindowsAppSdk apps too.

When I try to refer UWP Library in WindowsAppSdk app, getting error like "Project is not compatible".

My UWP class library min supported version - Windows 10 fall creators update (16299).

Should I recreate my UWP Library as WindowsAppSdk library ?

Can anyone help me understand this

Thanks Noorul.

    No, but you should convert it into a .NET Standard library that can be consumed by both UWP and WinUI (.NET) applications, and any other type of application whose runtime implementation supports the version of the .NET Standard specification that you choose to target.

    UWP apps cannot consume librararies that are targeted against a specific platform such as .NET and vice versa. That's where .NET Standard comes in. It enables you to share code across multiple .NET implementations and platforms.
