Publishing Azure Functions v4 .NET 8 fails on Hosted Agent version: 3.241.0

[eholman]

The publishing of an Azure Function fails on a Hosted Agent with Ubuntu-latest vmimage since agent version 3.241.0. It worked on 3.240.1...

Is there anything I can do?

Info: .NET Core SDK/runtime 2.2 and 3.0 are now End of Life(EOL) and have been removed from all hosted agents. If you're using these SDK/runtimes on hosted agents, kindly upgrade to newer versions which are not EOL, or else use UseDotNet task to install the required version.
/usr/bin/dotnet publish /home/vsts/work/1/s/xx/xx.csproj --configuration Release --no-restore --output /home/vsts/work/1/a/xx
/usr/share/dotnet/sdk/8.0.302/Sdks/Microsoft.NET.Sdk/targets/Microsoft.NET.Sdk.FrameworkReferenceResolution.targets(404,5): error NETSDK1127: The targeting pack Microsoft.NETCore.App is not installed. Please restore and try again. [/home/vsts/work/1/s/xx/xx.csproj]
##[error]Error: The process '/usr/bin/dotnet' failed with exit code 1
##[warning].NET 5 has some compatibility issues with older Nuget versions(<=5.7), so if you are using an older Nuget version(and not dotnet cli) to restore, then the dotnet cli commands (e.g. dotnet build) which rely on such restored packages might fail. To mitigate such error, you can either: (1) - Use dotnet cli to restore, (2) - Use Nuget version 5.8 to restore, (3) - Use global.json using an older sdk version(<=3) to build
Info: Azure Pipelines hosted agents have been updated and now contain .Net 5.x SDK/Runtime along with the older .Net Core version which are currently lts. Unless you have locked down a SDK version for your project(s), 5.x SDK might be picked up which might have breaking behavior as compared to previous versions. You can learn more about the breaking changes here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tools/ and https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/compatibility/ . To learn about more such changes and troubleshoot, refer here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/tasks/build/dotnet-core-cli?view=azure-devops#troubleshooting
