SlowCheetah does not transform when project is net48 Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Worker

[ristogod]

I have a code base that I build in both net48 and net6.0 and various executable projects that run either version. I have net48 dependency I cannot free myself from. However, the code works fine when targeting either framework.

For some of the projects, they are command-line driven console apps and the below works fine. I get an MyProject.exe.config file that is both transformed as well as includes all binding redirects.

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

   <PropertyGroup>
      <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
      <TargetFramework>net48</TargetFramework>
   </PropertyGroup>

   <ItemGroup>
      <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.VisualStudio.SlowCheetah" Version="4.0.8">
        <PrivateAssets>all</PrivateAssets>
        <IncludeAssets>runtime; build; native; contentfiles; analyzers; buildtransitive</IncludeAssets>
      </PackageReference>
   </ItemGroup>

   <ItemGroup>
      <None Update="App.config">
         <CopyToOutputDirectory>Never</CopyToOutputDirectory>
         <TransformOnBuild>true</TransformOnBuild>
      </None>
      <None Update="App.Debug.config">
         <DependentUpon>App.config</DependentUpon>
        <IsTransformFile>true</IsTransformFile>
      </None>
      <None Update="App.Release.config">
         <DependentUpon>App.config</DependentUpon>
         <IsTransformFile>true</IsTransformFile>
      </None>
   </ItemGroup>

</Project>

However, I also need some functionality in a Windows Service, and so I have made a project file like this, and it simply does not do the transforms at all.

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Worker">

   <PropertyGroup>
      <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
      <TargetFramework>net48</TargetFramework>
   </PropertyGroup>

   <ItemGroup>
      <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.VisualStudio.SlowCheetah" Version="4.0.8">
        <PrivateAssets>all</PrivateAssets>
        <IncludeAssets>runtime; build; native; contentfiles; analyzers; buildtransitive</IncludeAssets>
      </PackageReference>
   </ItemGroup>

   <ItemGroup>
      <None Update="App.config">
         <CopyToOutputDirectory>Never</CopyToOutputDirectory>
         <TransformOnBuild>true</TransformOnBuild>
      </None>
      <None Update="App.Debug.config">
         <DependentUpon>App.config</DependentUpon>
        <IsTransformFile>true</IsTransformFile>
      </None>
      <None Update="App.Release.config">
         <DependentUpon>App.config</DependentUpon>
         <IsTransformFile>true</IsTransformFile>
      </None>
   </ItemGroup>

</Project>

I've tried using Microsoft.DotNet.Xdt.Tools.2.0.0 instead of Microsoft.VisualStudio.SlowCheetah.4.0.8, but I can't seem to get it to produce a MyProject.exe.config file that both transforms as well as generates all the BindingRedirects correctly.

I'm having the same issue but with .net 7.0. Same configurations as above but for AppSettings.json. Right context menu "Preview Transformation" works correctly however when building or publishing the AppSettings.json emitted has not been transformed.
