[Bug] A self-contained executable cannot be referenced by a non self-contained executable

[JWMB]

Description

DevOidcToolkit\DevOidcToolkit.csproj specifies <SelfContained>true</SelfContained>. This now causes a build error since the test project references it but is not itself self-contained.

Steps to reproduce

Build project with SDK 10.0.102

Expected behaviour

Builds without error

Environment details

No response

Hi, thanks for raising this, I haven't been able to recreate this, I've changed my SDK version to 10.0.102 and builds have been fine for both the application and the unit tests.

Those warnings about embedded resources are expected for dev builds, since those are for embedding the documentation into the binary.

This supposedly was previously an issue in .NET 5 and before, but this discussion suggests it was fixed in .NET 6.

Is there anything specific about your environment (I'm building on MacOS) or any specific errors you are getting?

Interesting - I'm on Windows / ARM64, but that shouldn't matter these days (famous last words).
Commented it out for local debugging, so currently not a big issue for me.
