The Visual Studio IDE automatically sets the 'PackageOptionalProjectsInIdeBuilds' parameter to false when switching between different Git branches. I noticed that the value of this parameter, whether true or false, affects the size of the uwp app package.
What actions does Visual Studio take when it sets the 'PackageOptionalProjectsInIdeBuilds' parameter value to false? Additionally, what is the recommended value for this parameter?
