Hi A L,

Thank you for reaching out to us on Microsoft Q&A forum. 

The error message you are encountering (exit code: 134) typically indicates a more serious issue that could be related to the compatibility of the .NET SDK with the ARM architecture of the M2 chip, or it could be related to dependencies in your project.

Here are some additional steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:

Check Compatibility: Ensure you are using a version of .NET SDK that supports ARM64 architecture. As of .NET 6, there is better support for Apple Silicon.

Install Latest .NET SDK: Download and install the latest version of the .NET SDK from the official .NET website. Ensure you choose the ARM64 version.

Run under Rosetta 2: If you have installed the x64 version of .NET SDK, you might need to run your terminal under Rosetta 2.

• Right-click on the Terminal app in Finder.
  • Select "Get Info".
  • Check the "Open using Rosetta" option.
  Then, try running dotnet restore again in this terminal. Docker Settings: Ensure your Docker settings are correctly configured to use the right platform architecture.

  - Go to Docker Desktop preferences.
  
     - Under "Features in development", enable "Use Rosetta for x86/amd64 emulation on Apple Silicon".
  

1. Update Dockerfile: Modify your Dockerfile to ensure compatibility with the ARM64 architecture. Here's an example Dockerfile snippet:

      FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:6.0 AS build
   

WORKDIR /source

Copy csproj and restore as distinct layers

COPY *.sln . COPY HotelReservationSystem/HotelReservationSystem.csproj HotelReservationSystem/ RUN dotnet restore HotelReservationSystem/HotelReservationSystem.csproj

Copy everything else and build

COPY . . WORKDIR /source/HotelReservationSystem RUN dotnet build --no-restore -c Release -o /app/build

FROM build AS publish RUN dotnet publish --no-restore -c Release -o /app/publish

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:6.0 AS final WORKDIR /app COPY --from=publish /app/publish . ENTRYPOINT ["dotnet", "HotelReservationSystem.dll"]

   
1. **Diagnostics**: Add diagnostics to understand the issue better. Modify your Dockerfile to include verbose logging:

   ```dockerfile
   FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:6.0 AS build
WORKDIR /source

COPY *.sln .
COPY HotelReservationSystem/HotelReservationSystem.csproj HotelReservationSystem/
RUN dotnet restore HotelReservationSystem/HotelReservationSystem.csproj -v diag

Check Logs: Examine the logs for more specific error messages. The -v diag flag will provide detailed diagnostic logs that can help pinpoint the issue.

1. Remove Docker Cache: Sometimes, cached layers in Docker can cause issues. Try building your image without cache.

      
      docker build --no-cache -t your_image_name .
   

By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue causing the dotnet restore command to fail on your Mac with an M2 chip. If you still face problems, providing the detailed output from the diagnostic logs can help further narrow down the cause.
