Referencing .Net Framework 4.8 Class Library in .Net Core 3.0 Project

It is clear that it is not possible to reference .Net Standard 2.1 or .Net Core 3.0 in .NET Framework 4.8 project. If I add a .Net 4.8 class library into my .Net Core 3.0 project it seems to work. My .Net Core WPF application seems OK.

I am trying to figure out if any side effects may arise. I could not get a clear result. The question is that should I reference .Net 4.8 in my .Net core 3.0 app or not?

You can reference .net 4.8 in your .net core 3.0 app. The only drawback is that your app will now depend also on .net 4.8, so your users will need to have that. It might be relevant if you want to target for example Linux, but since you mentioned WPF - I asume you are only targeting windows anyway.
