asked on Published .NET 6 Program for OSX x64 won't Run on Big Sur
Hey everyone, I have compiled (using Publish method) a framework-dependant program for macOS (osx-x64) as "Single File" which produced three files
.env (file holds settings for program)
AppName
AppName.pdb
These are the only files, my client has installed .NET 6 runtime on his MacBook and can't run the program.
The command he runs is "dotnet AppName" on the target folder. But instead, the tool produces an error:
Could not execute because the specified command or file was not found. Possible reasons for this include:
* You misspelled a built-in dotnet command.
* You intended to execute a .NET program, but dotnet-/Users/stephan/Downloads/osx-x64/TicketBot does not exist.
* You intended to run a global tool, but a dotnet-prefixed executable with this name could not be found on the PATH.

Sorry to jump in but it is the default behaviour, if you target MacOS, you will get an extension-less build file.

@Chinmay Thank you for confirming this, I will be back with an update next week.
I have to wait for my client to get back to me and see if this resolved his issue, so I'll update you here asap.
Edit: Tell me something Peter, the fact that the compiled file has no extension such as .dll is something that should worry me? I mean, would it still execute with the dotnet command on macOS without an extension? Have I compiled it wrong using publish method or is it normal to be extensionless? Thanks.
