I'm attempting to release Umbraco 13 via a DevOps pipeline, but running into the following error when running the 'NuGet restore' task:

##[error]The nuget command failed with exit code(1) and error(C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\6.0.203\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\targets\Microsoft.NET.TargetFrameworkInference.targets(144,5): error NETSDK1045: The current .NET SDK does not support targeting .NET 8.0.  Either target .NET 6.0 or lower, or use a version of the .NET SDK that supports .NET 8.0. [D:\a\1\s\src\UmbracoProject\UmbracoProject.csproj]

Reading into this message it implies that .Net 6 is being chosen instead of .Net 8. My knowledge on Azure & DevOps is fairly limited so do excuse my novice level of questioning. The pipeline uses a Hosted Agent. Assuming this agent doesn't have what it needs? Any help would be gratefully appreciated!

The installed dotnet sdk depends on the host type, you can specify it directly in the pipeline job. If you are using

windows-latest

it should have dotnet 8: https://github.com/actions/runner-images/blob/main/images/windows/Windows2022-Readme.md#net-core-tools It is also possible to specify the versions in the stage via a job: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/tasks/reference/use-dotnet-v2?view=azure-pipelines
