…ch compatibility Define XHarnessNetTFMs centrally in Directory.Build.props so all shipped packages include net8.0 through net11.0. This ensures downstream repos on older .NET SDKs (e.g. dotnet/runtime release/8.0-staging, release/10.0) can consume XHarness packages from main. The Arcade SDK 11.0 defines NetMinimum=net10.0 and NetPrevious='' (empty), so projects using only Arcade variables end up with just net10.0 and net11.0.

Problem
The Arcade SDK 11.0 defines
NetMinimum=net10.0andNetPrevious=''(empty), so:The CLI tool NuGet package only contains
tools/net10.0/andtools/net11.0/TFM folders. When downstream repos on .NET 8 or .NET 9 SDKs try to install the tool viadotnet tool install, it fails with:The library NuGet packages (
Microsoft.DotNet.XHarness.Common,TestRunners.*) only targetnet10.0, causing NuGet restore errors in downstream repos targeting net8.0/net9.0:Affected downstream PRs:
Root Cause
Arcade SDK
TargetFrameworkDefaults.propsdefines:NetCurrent = net11.0NetPrevious =(empty)NetMinimum = net10.0Projects using these variables end up with only
net11.0;net10.0.Fix
Add explicit
net8.0(andnet9.0for CLI/AndroidEntryPoint) to TargetFrameworks for all shipped packages. TheRollForward=Majorin runtimeconfig.json ensures the net8.0 asset can run on any higher .NET runtime.Affected Packages
