Description
Describe the Issue
I use the following lines in the csproj file to define the target framework for a .NET for iOS/MacCatalyst app:
<TargetFramework Condition="'$(Platform)'=='AnyCPU'">net9.0-maccatalyst</TargetFramework>
<TargetFramework Condition="'$(Platform)'!='AnyCPU'">net9.0-ios</TargetFramework>
As soon as a target framework is defined via conditions, the app cannot be selected as start project via { }, it is not listed.
I cannot use multi-targeting for the app, because defined runtime identifiers for specific platforms for iOS cannot be mapped for Mac Catalyst.
In Visual Studio, there is no issue with conditional target framework.
