I get the following error from Visual Studio for Mac when restoring packages after installing .NET5 RC2.

Getting restore information for project /Users/fak/Dropbox/Projects/Circuit2/Circuit/Circuit2.csproj
/usr/local/share/dotnet/sdk/5.0.100-rc.2.20480.7/Sdks/Microsoft.NET.Sdk/targets/Microsoft.NET.TargetFrameworkInference.targets(54,5) : error MSB4186: Invalid static method invocation syntax: "[MSBuild]::GetTargetFrameworkIdentifier('$(TargetFramework)')". Method '[MSBuild]::GetTargetFrameworkIdentifier' not found. Static method invocation should be of the form: $([FullTypeName]::Method()), e.g. $([System.IO.Path]::Combine(`a`, `b`)). Check that all parameters are defined, are of the correct type, and are specified in the right order.

We are also seeing this, however we are compiling against windows, on windows:

[Step 9/12]  29:11>C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\5.0.100\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\targets\Microsoft.NET.TargetFrameworkInference.targets(54,5): error MSB4186: Invalid static method invocation syntax: "[MSBuild]::GetTargetFrameworkIdentifier('$(TargetFramework)')".

[C:\BuildAgent\work\40be139df87d45a2\DAMCenter\Messaging\Digizuite.Messaging.Shared\Digizuite.Messaging.Shared.csproj]

And the strange thing is, it seems to only happen on one of our build machines, not all of them.

Saw a similar issue when upgrading my C# to JS compiler: https://github.com/dotnet/msbuild/issues/5875

Had the same issue local on my mac. After updating VS2019 to the latest version the error was gone

Has anyone seen this recently? It sounds like a Visual Studio for Mac update may have helped.
