Creating .NET Standard 2.0 class library project will always have reference to Microsoft.NETCore.Platforms 1.1.0 by default

Summary

Creating a .NET Standard 2.0 class library project should have correct reference to Microsoft.NETCore.Platform 2.0.0, but actual reference points to version 1.1.0 by default.

Detail description

Environments:

• Windows 10 Anniversary Update
• Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise with update: 15.3.3 and .NET Core workload installed (also tested with Visual Studio 2017 15.3.1 and using Community Edition)

Steps to reproduce:

• Create a .NET Standard class library
• expand the Dependency node on the Solution Explorer

This is the steps screenshot:

By default, the creation of .NET Standard 2 class library should always point to v2.0.0 not the 1.1.0.

This is the close-up screenshot of the dependencies:

Expected result

The references should point to Microsoft.NETCore.Platforms v2.0.0 instead of older version, because this version is the version used by .NET Standard 2.0.

Is this a bug or by design?

My bad, I think this is not a correct place for this issue. I'll recreate this on dotnet/standard.

I close this, because I have created the issue on dotnet/standard#497
