No transformation for ASP.NET Core projects via Service Fabric / Console Application

[test-in-prod]

Transformations do not appear to work for Service Fabric projects (either standalone or ASP.NET core).

Service Fabric projects are created as Console Applications with a csproj extension. Adding reference to the Microsoft.VisualStudio.SlowCheetah v3.0.61 works, however csproj remains unmodified. Added transforms for PackageRoot\Config\Settings.xml (created Settings.Debug.xml and Settings.Release.xml).

Changing current solution build configuration (e.g. to Release) and building it -- no XML transforms are being applied from Settings.Release.xml to Settings.xml (base file) even though:

    <None Update="PackageRoot\Config\Settings.Debug.xml">
      <IsTransformFile>True</IsTransformFile>
    </None>
    <None Update="PackageRoot\Config\Settings.Release.xml">
      <IsTransformFile>True</IsTransformFile>
    </None>
    <None Update="PackageRoot\Config\Settings.xml">
      <TransformOnBuild>true</TransformOnBuild>
    </None>
