I am trying to run a project I created on .NET 5 (on another machine) on my MacOS machine running Monterey 12.1 and I got this error:

It was not possible to find any compatible framework version
The framework 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.App', version '5.0.0' (arm64) was not found.
  - The following frameworks were found:
      3.1.20 at [/usr/local/share/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.AspNetCore.App]
      6.0.1 at [/usr/local/share/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.AspNetCore.App]

I thought it was strange since I remembered having installed it previously, but proceeded and installed (SDK 5.0.404) it again. And got the same error.
Then went and run dotnet --list-runtimes and got the following output:

Microsoft.AspNetCore.App 3.1.20 [/usr/local/share/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.AspNetCore.App]
Microsoft.AspNetCore.App 6.0.1 [/usr/local/share/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.AspNetCore.App]
Microsoft.NETCore.App 3.1.20 [/usr/local/share/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App]
Microsoft.NETCore.App 6.0.1 [/usr/local/share/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App]

I am totally lost. It seems even though I am installing the whole SDK package and later on tried also just with the runtime installation, my machine refuses to see it as installed.

The issue seems to be that the only version available of .NET5 for Mac is x64, and there is no ARM64 version for that version. ARM64 for Mac is only fully supported since .NET6
