Hey all, I'm getting the below error when trying to build a solution for the first time on my Mac (with an M1 chip). The problem being that when looking at the versions for this nuget package here -> https://www.nuget.org/packages/runtime.osx-arm64.Microsoft.DotNet.ILCompiler/ it seems that there isn't a version for 7.0.4? And only for the .NET 8 preview. I'd love to change the target framework to .NET 8 however reading up on here -> https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/announcing-dotnet-8-preview-2/ it seems like Visual Studio for Mac support isn't yet available. Do I have much options here? Or is it that I'm missing an sdk (I have installed both .NET 8 preview and .NET 7 sdks)

    the .net 7 version of Microsoft.DotNet.ILCompiler does not support Mac arm. you need to wait for .net 8. you could use visual audio code on Mac with net 8. There is a prerelease channel for visual studio Mac, but I don't believe net 8 support is there yet.
