Description
Hey,
I apologize in advance if this is not the correct place to ask this, but I didn't find any better one. Feel free to move this issue if appropriate.
For testing purposes, in MAUI `net6.0-android` project I've tried to reference other project of mine targetting `net6.0` which is a library. I didn't have any issues doing so, but during compilation I've stumbled upon following error:
> Error NETSDK1082 There is no Microsoft.AspNetCore.App runtime package available for the specified RuntimeIdentifier "android-x86"
If I understand this right, I *can* reference standard `net6.0` projects because `Microsoft.NETCore.App.Runtime.Mono.android-x86` exists and is usable, at least I successfully did that with example `net6.0` library. However, I'd like to reference a library that has actual ASP.NET Core elements (Kestrel web server, API with MVC etc), which according to the error is impossible because it can't find a required `android-x86` runtime, which **[seems to be correct as of today](https://www.nuget.org/packages?q=Microsoft.AspNetCore.App.Runtime)**.
Now I apologize if I'm trying to do some extreme stupidity, or I don't understand something, but I wanted to verify whether it'd be possible to "convert" existing CLI project of mine which uses Kestrel and API controllers into an Android MAUI app that could start the "backend" part on the target machine, with some nice frontend utilizing those API endpoints over HTTP. I'm testing this in .NET 6.0 preview 6 if it matters.
Is this possible/planned? Or perhaps I'm doing something horribly wrong?
In any case, thank you in advance for answering, I appreciate it.
