Documents breaking change from dotnet/efcore#37301 where EF tools now require --framework specification for multi-targeted projects.

Changes

  • Added medium-impact breaking change entry to EF Core 10.0 breaking changes documentation
  • Documented the new error: "The project targets multiple frameworks. Use the --framework option to specify which target framework to use."
  • Provided mitigation examples for common EF CLI commands

Workaround

Projects with multiple target frameworks must now specify which framework to use:

dotnet ef migrations add MyMigration --framework net9.0
dotnet ef database update --framework net9.0

For project files like:

<PropertyGroup>
  <TargetFrameworks>net8.0;net9.0</TargetFrameworks>
</PropertyGroup>

Root cause: EF 10 relies on ResolvePackageAssets MSBuild task which requires a single TFM context.

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

Original prompt

Write a breaking change note for 10 based on the change from dotnet/efcore#37301
Now, the projects that target multiple frameworks need to specify a framework when running the ef tools. Show an example commadline in the workaround section
