.NET library dependencies fail to load?

See original GitHub issue

I’ve been working on getting a .NET5 library (e.g. SimulationExports.dll) to work properly when called from native. This all works until the code requires an additional .NET5 library dependency (e.g. SimulationCore.dll) at which point I get:

Unhandled exception. System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'SimulationExports' threw an exception.
 ---> System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'SimulationCore, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'. The system cannot find the file specified.

In my case SimulationExports.dll and SimulationCore.dll sit side-by-side along with SimulationExports.runtimeconfig.json

A workaround linked in dotnet/sdk#14946 seems to fix my issue with the faulty *.deps.json so I think this issue can be closed. I’ll open a new issue if I run into anything else. Thanks for your help and great work on DNNE!
