Kestrel launchSettings.json on Release in NET.6 VS2022

Question

gRPS .NET 6 service on Release doesn't pick up applicationUrl from launchSettings.json and listens by default - localhost:5000 and 5001 for https. How and where to set up a release so that it picks up the launchSettings.json in VS2022?

Answer 1

launchSettings.json is used only for development environment. From the docs:

The launchSettings.json file:

• Is only used on the local development machine.
• Is not deployed.
• Contains profile settings.

For non-development environment options check the Use multiple environments in ASP.NET Core article.
