I face this what is the solution

(base) apple@192 PizzaHub % dotnet ef migrations add MyFirstMigrationNo project was found. Change the current working directory or use the --project option.

You might be running the command in the solution directory rather the project. CD into the project directory and then try executing the same command. Should ideally run.

Hi I found your article quite helpful while setting up sql Db in Mac M1 machine. But my EF Core migrations command are not working , I am getting following issue -: After running, dotnet ef migrations add DbInitializationWithSeed Build started... Build succeeded. It was not possible to find any compatible framework version The framework 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.App', version '3.1.0' (arm64) was not found.

-   The following frameworks were found: 6.0.1 at \[/usr/local/share/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.AspNetCore.App\] You can resolve the problem by installing the specified framework and/or SDK. The specified framework can be found at:
-   [aka.ms/dotnet-core-applaunch](https://aka.ms/dotnet-core-applaunch?framework=Microsoft.AspNetCore.App&framework_version=3.1.0&arch=arm64&rid=osx.12-arm64) Do you have any idea how to resolve this issue on Mac ?
