It also seems weird that the WindowsDesktop packages are needed to publish these web projects self-contained, but I’m not really familiar with how that works.

It is weird but by design. We have to download all runtime packs due to having to pick pre-restore before we can apply transitive framework references. Well, what’s weird is that right now, we still haven’t finished transitive framework references, but the part that is picking the runtime packs to download is already being greedy in anticipation.

Hmm, no I think this is different

The project has:

    <RestoreAdditionalProjectSources>
      https://dotnet.myget.org/F/aspnetcore-dev/api/v3/index.json;
      https://dotnet.myget.org/F/blazor-dev/api/v3/index.json;
    </RestoreAdditionalProjectSources>

If you change that to

    <RestoreAdditionalProjectSources>
      $(RestoreAdditionalSources);
      https://dotnet.myget.org/F/aspnetcore-dev/api/v3/index.json;
      https://dotnet.myget.org/F/blazor-dev/api/v3/index.json;
    </RestoreAdditionalProjectSources>

Does it work?

There are some implicit additional sources (which will be gone in Preview 5 --hopefully)

@dagood adding the dotnet-windowsdesktop feed does fix the issue. Presumably this package would be published to NuGet.org as part of the preview4 release. That said, would you know why publishing a self-contained WebApplication results in a reference to the WindowsDesktop framework?

@dagood I did cheat and just delete the .nuget/packages dir prior to running this specific publish. But afaik, dotnet nuget locals --clear all should wipe out the HTTP cache.
