    <IsPublishable>True</IsPublishable> in your project folder worked for me

    It was set to false for some reason?

      <PropertyGroup>
    <OutputType>WinExe</OutputType>
    <TargetFramework>net6.0-windows</TargetFramework>
    <UseWPF>true</UseWPF>
    <ApplicationIcon>Binary.ico</ApplicationIcon>
    <IsPublishable>True</IsPublishable>
  </PropertyGroup>

    Build your project (not rebuild)
    Other workaround is publish in debug mode first then change settings and publish in release mode. it will work
