Test project on Mac complain about not having windows target (NETSDK1136)

[Pastajello]

Hello,

I currently have a solution in Xamarin Forms. This solution uses net core 3.1 for Testing. Everything is working correctly on Mac. BUT when i change TargetFramework to net6/net7 I get

/usr/local/share/dotnet/sdk/7.0.203/Sdks/Microsoft.NET.Sdk/targets/Microsoft.NET.Sdk.DefaultItems.Shared.targets(5,5): Error NETSDK1136: The target platform must be set to Windows (usually by including '-windows' in the TargetFramework property) when using Windows Forms or WPF, or referencing projects or packages that do so. (NETSDK1136)

As Azure Pipleline agents are starting to not work with netcore3.1 I have to switch to newer version of .net, yet I'm not switching to MAUI for now. Since I'm working on a Mac how I'm supposed to add a Windows target?

Further technical details

I couldn't figure out the best area label to add to this issue. If you have write-permissions please help me learn by adding exactly one area label.

Try setting the TargetFramework to something like net7.0-windows, and setting the EnableWindowsTargeting property to true. This will cause the project to target windows but be able to be built on MacOS.

Targeting Windows is required because the project uses Windows Forms or WPF, as far as I can tell from the error message. If this doesn't seem to be the case, could you share a repro or a binlog

The project is Using Xamarin Forms for iOS and Android. There is no Windows project there.
