I've created a .NET Core console application. I want to build the app so that I can execute it on Windows or MacOS without dotnet core being installed on the machine. So I need e.g. for windows an exe.
I've read https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/dotnet/articles/core/tools/dotnet-publish and I know how to compile the application for the different platform(s).
But no executable gets created. What am I missing here and how do I accomplish my goal?

Developing ASP.NET Core Applications on a Mac With Visual Studio Code. You can run commands directly from within Visual Studio Code, including dotnet restore and any tools referenced in the project.
Right click the Console App Project and select Publish. Then change Deployment Mode to Self-contained or Framework dependent. . NET Core 3.0 introduces a Single file deployment which is a single executable. Use "framework dependent" if you know the target machine has a .
NET platform. ASP.NET Core is the open-source version of ASP.NET, that runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows.
What you need is to create a self-contained application. The link explains how exactly to modify your project.json to do that.
Also note that while a self-contained application does not have a dependency on .Net Core, it may have other dependencies. Specifically on OSX, I believe you will need to install a specific version of openssl from homebrew.
