NuGet packages are missing for 0.81.3

[Nezz]

Problem Description

It seems that 0.81.3 has been published in npm two days ago, but there is no such NuGet package:
https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.ReactNative#versions-body-tab

This causes builds to fail:

error NU1103: Unable to find a stable package Microsoft.ReactNative with version (>= 0.81.3)
error NU1103: Unable to find a stable package Microsoft.ReactNative.Cxx with version (>= 0.81.3)

Steps To Reproduce

Add react-native-windows to a new project:

1. npm add react-native-windows@^0.81.0
2. npx react-native init-windows --overwrite
3. npx @react-native-community/cli run-windows

Expected Results

Project should build

Probably as a side-effect of this, creating a new project is failing as well:

npx --yes @react-native-community/cli@latest init RNWin --version "^0.81.0"

RNW 0.81 and 0.82 fails to create empty project

I try to somehow create new empty RNW 0.81 project to start porting my app into WinRTC++ New Arch but does not manage to do empty project.

npx --yes @react-native-community/cli@latest init hello081 --version "^0.81.0"
cd hello081
yarn add react-native-windows@^0.81.0
npx react-native init-windows --overwrite
yarn install
npx react-native run-windows --logging

Errors

error NU1103: Unable to find a stable package Microsoft.ReactNative with version (>= 0.81.3)
Found 1619 version(s) in react-native [ Nearest version: 0.82.0-preview.4 ]

Then i tried to create RNW 0.82 project

npx --yes @react-native-community/cli@latest init hello082 --version "^0.82.0"
cd hello082
yarn add react-native-windows@github:microsoft/react-native-windows#react-native-windows_v0.82.0-preview.9

but that fails some lage build script doring installation.

So i did not managed to find solution to build quite new RNW empty project for star transfer my C# app to WinRT C++ New Arch.
I followed docs https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows/docs/getting-started and https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows/docs/init-windows-cli

I have not run this script now https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows/docs/rnw-dependencies. I have working RNW 0.79 project.

RNW 0.81 without RNW from NuGet fails to create empty project

I try to create empty RNW project somehow now

npx --yes @react-native-community/cli@latest init hello081 --version "^0.81.0"
cd hello081
yarn add react-native-windows@^0.81.0
npx react-native init-windows --overwrite

• Disable NuGet usage in ExperimentalFeatures.props <UseExperimentalNuget>false</UseExperimentalNuget>
• NuGet.config has only <add key="Nuget.org" value="https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json" />

yarn install
npx react-native autolink-windows
npx react-native run-windows --logging

Then i have manually add RNW dependencies into solution...why!? I hoped that npx react-native autolink-windows does that - i think it should!?

RNW 0.79 works

npx --yes @react-native-community/cli@latest init hello079 --version "^0.79.0"
cd hello079
yarn add react-native-windows@^0.79.0
npx react-native init-windows --overwrite
yarn install
npx react-native run-windows

RNW 0.80 managed to create empty project

npx --yes @react-native-community/cli@latest init hello080 --version "^0.80.0"
cd hello080
yarn add react-native-windows@^0.80.0
npx react-native init-windows --overwrite
yarn install
npx react-native run-windows

RNW comes from NuGet.

<RnwNewArch>true</RnwNewArch>
<UseExperimentalNuget>true</UseExperimentalNuget>

An empty project with 0.81.2 worked for me, but if course in reality several packages I wanted to use didn't even compile so I gave up on RN for Windows

Oh crap, I accidentally closed this when submitting the comment and don't have the permission to reopen 🤦

@vineethkuttan can you reopen this?
