Assets file doesn't have a target for 'net6.0-android'

I tried to create a pipeline to build my .Net MAUI app on Azure DevOps. Besides the main MAUI project, the solution includes a UnitTests project with Target Framework .NET 6.0. The operation fails with the following error:

Error NETSDK1005: Assets file 'D:\a\1\s\UnitTests\obj\project.assets.json' doesn't have a target for 'net6.0-android'. Ensure that restore has run and that you have included 'net6.0-android' in the TargetFrameworks for your project.

I will probably be missing also framework(s) for iOS when I build a pipeline for it...

What is the right way to add those frameworks to my UnitTests project? And should it be done on my UnitTests project or as a pipeline task? And why in general does building UnitTests project require net6.0-android??

    Hello,

    I can build locally without problems. I am really confused why building UnitTests project requires net6.0-android... This project does not do anything currently, it is there for the future, and should not even know about MAUI...

    If you can build locally without issues, this issue is related to the Azure DevOps.
    Azure DevOps related questions are not supported on this forum. It's better to open a new thread in developer community

    Best Regards,

    Leon Lu
