I would like to do some web development on my M1 mac machine, with ASP .NET core 8, but it seems like I am not able to find a Visual Studio version, that allows me to do so.
I was expecting to see a dropdown selection (for the target selection) with the .NET 8.0 (Preview)
When I go to preferences, I can see that I have the .NET sdk 8 installed -
EDIT: I even tried manually overriding the .csproj file, and setting the TargetFramework to net8.0, but the IDE doesn't seem to like it:
You will need to opt-in to .NET 8 support in Visual Studio for Mac. You can do this by opening the Preferences dialog from the main menu, selecting Other - Preview Features, and then checking Use the .NET 8 SDK if installed
option, and restarting Visual Studio for Mac.
Then you can create, open and build .NET 8 projects.
Note that this is a preview feature so you might find some things that do not work. Although ASP.NET Core projects should be fine.
