In net6, Can I GeneratePackageOnBuild for a SingleFile console application

[moh-hassan]

I create c# Console project in net6 to generate singlefile with the following setting

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

  <PropertyGroup>
    <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
    <TargetFramework>net6.0</TargetFramework>
    <PublishSingleFile>true</PublishSingleFile>
    <SelfContained>false</SelfContained>
    <RuntimeIdentifier>win-x64</RuntimeIdentifier>
     
  </PropertyGroup>

<!-- .... other properties -->
</Project>

In visual studio 2022 I pack a package onbuild using the next line:

<GeneratePackageOnBuild>True</GeneratePackageOnBuild

The package generated ignore the above PublishSingleFile setting and generate package with multi files dependencies.

My alternative solution is using PowerShell to publish and pack the package.

Is there is a way for GeneratePackageOnBuild to use the PublishSingleFile setting?

Looks like the pack task may need to be updated to handle publish output. Moving to SDK.

Is there any progress for this issue?
