Fixes AB#1461672 / https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/Unable-to-publish-via-ClickOnce-for-Unpa/1631852
Context
Apps referencing Windows App SDK packages fail ClickOnce publish due to a copy error for apphost.exe.
Apps with this package reference invoke targets that try to copy files in the ContentWithTargetPath to the output folder. ClickOnce targets add apphost.exe to ContentWithTargetPath w/o the TargetPath metadata. This results in the copy error.
Changes Made
Add TargetPath metadata to the item before it gets added to ContentWithTargetPath group.
Testing
CTI team has run test cases for clickonce publish across all supported configuration
