macOS Notarization Change

Running “dotnet build” will generate dll instead of binary on macOS. This is a planned change to not use the AppHost by default on macOS because of notarization requirements. If you want to opt into using the AppHost, please use following:

<PropertyGroup>
  <UseAppHost>true</UseAppHost>
</PropertyGroup>
