Description
The simplest possible project referencing this library fails to compile:
<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
<PropertyGroup>
<OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
<TargetFramework>net6.0</TargetFramework>
</PropertyGroup>
<ItemGroup>
<PackageReference Include="AdaptiveCards.Templating" Version="1.3.1" />
</ItemGroup>
</Project>
The error:
Error NU1605 Detected package downgrade: Newtonsoft.Json from 12.0.3 to 11.0.2. Reference the package directly from the project to select a different version.
AdaptiveCardTemplateRepro -> AdaptiveCards.Templating 1.3.1 -> AdaptiveExpressions 4.11.2 -> Newtonsoft.Json (>= 12.0.3)
AdaptiveCardTemplateRepro -> AdaptiveCards.Templating 1.3.1 -> Newtonsoft.Json (>= 11.0.2)
Tested using Visual Studio 2022 17.4.0.
Workaround
Add reference to Newtonsoft.Json:
<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
<PropertyGroup>
<OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
<TargetFramework>net6.0</TargetFramework>
</PropertyGroup>
<ItemGroup>
<PackageReference Include="AdaptiveCards.Templating" Version="1.3.1" />
<PackageReference Include="Newtonsoft.Json" Version="12.0.3" />
</ItemGroup>
</Project>

Research direction
Start by inspecting the package dependency metadata for AdaptiveCards.Templating 1.3.1 and its AdaptiveExpressions 4.11.2 dependency. Reproduce the NU1605 error with the minimal net6.0 project, then verify that a corrected dependency declaration restores the project without requiring a direct Newtonsoft.Json workaround.
