The current SonarScanner for .NET version does not support net6.0 and Azure DevOps build pipeline fails without additional net3.1 or net5.0 runtime. See build log excerpt.

Finishing: Prepare analysis on SonarQube
yes, we use this task since some months for a workaround but we need to get the .NET 6.0 support and remove this. We plan the migration to .NET 6.0 in the next weeks with a 3 digits number of CI build pipelines. Removing the workaround is an additional effort for all teams.
We have a different experience with other dotnet tools e.g. cyclonedx or dotnet-reportgenerator-globaltool and this tools run on net6.0, net5.0, netcore3.1, …
SonarScanner requires .NET Core 3.1 and hopefully this limitation is removed and it supports .NET 6.0 soon.
The tool package is packed using a nuspec file. This could also be done in the csproj file and you can create the package within Visual Studio and check it with nuget explorer.
