### macOS Notarization Change
Running "dotnet build" will generate dll instead of binary on macOS. This is a planned change to not use the AppHost by default on macOS because of [notarization requirements](https://docs.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/install/macos-notarization-issues). If you want to opt into using the AppHost, please use following:
```
true
