Pair to Mac Broker on the Mac wants .net 8 but I just got .net 9 working

[stevenroman760]

Description

So I tried getting my project running in VSCode on the Mac, I got all the bits installed and it runs. Unfortunately doing that seems to have killed the Pair to Mac on my PC. Somehow my broker thinks I need to install .net 8 but I want .net 9. How do I tell the broker on my mac that I want .net 9 instead of .net 8?

I posted my question here but apparently the place to post question is also broken...

Anyway, here are my logs of the Pair to Mac Broker on the Mac wanting .net 8 when I've spent today getting .net 9 working with VS Code.

This is tooling which is unfortunately not the right place for it here. The instructions added by the bot will help you report it in the right place.

I think the remote connection should automatically install the matching .NET version but maybe I’m wrong. Maybe it will help to install .NET 9 on your Mac manually?

finally got to test flight. Just had to install .net 8 on the mac so .net 9 on windows could talk to it. Totally obvious...
