We are using the latest nuget packages V23.6.2.

When we start 'electronize build ...', we get this error:

You must install or update .NET to run this application.
Architecture: x64
Framework: 'Microsoft.NETCore.App', version '6.0.0' (x64)
.NET location: C:\Program Files\dotnet
The following frameworks were found:
8.0.2 at [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.NETCore.App]

.NET 6 will be obsolete end of this year and .NET 8 was released last november.
when will be electron migrated to .NET 8 ?

I removed the bug label as this is not a bug. Applications are shipped with a specific framework dependency.

A newer version might / will be released for .NET 8, but right now we are still at .NET 6. As mentioned from your side the official support is still until later this year - so its totally fine.

If you want to fasten up development speed consider contributing to the project either via PRs or financially. Thanks for your support!

Coming back in 2025 to report that this exact error still occurs, and .NET 6.0 has been moved to end of life and is no longer being maintained or shipped even through the link that prompts in the error log. Is there a plan or a workaround to get this problem addressed?

Outdated - use ElectronNET.Core and ElectronNET.Core.AspNet.

See Wiki / What's New.
