Shadows are not rendering when using Rendering Layers

Unity: Universal RP

Third Party Issue

2023.2.X

2023.1.X

2022.2.X

2022.2.0b2 onwards

This was an issue with the setup, the scene was needing some more configuration due to the ground plane not receiving light from the two point lights due to both Red and Green layers being disabled. This meant the ground plane wasn't being lit so that it could not receive shadows since it needs to be lit to be able to have shadowing. The example this was based off in the docs started with the ground plane being lit by all layers, thus was the defining difference between setups.

Reproduction steps:
1. Open the attached “Test Project” project
2. Open the “Scenes/SampleScene” Scene
3. Observe the Scene View

Expected result: GameObjects “A” and “B” cast shadows
Actual result: GameObjects “A” and “B” do not cast shadows

Reproducible with: 2022.2.0b2, 2022.2.17f1, 2023.1.0b16, 2023.2.0a14
Not reproducible with: 2020.3.48f1, 2021.3.25f1, 2022.2.0b1

Reproducible on: Windows 10
