NETSDK1061: The project was restored using Microsoft.NETCore.App version 2.1.6, but with current settings, version 2.1.0 would be used instead.

Creating a simple project from scratch and attempting to build it throws multiple errors with SDK 2.1.500.

Create a new project with:

dotnet new webapi -o example
cd example
code

Inside Visual Studio Code run:

dotnet publish -c Release -r win10-x64

You will be spammed with errors such as:

[fail]: OmniSharp.MSBuild.ProjectLoader
        NETSDK1061: The project was restored using Microsoft.NETCore.App version 2.1.6, but with current settings, version 2.1.0 would be used instead. To resolve this issue, make sure the same settings are used for restore and for subsequent operations such as build or publish. Typically this issue can occur if the RuntimeIdentifier property is set during build or publish but not during restore. For more information, see https://aka.ms/dotnet-runtime-patch-selection.

I had similar problem, and I solved it indicating in the csproj file the version of the runtime framework to use:

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

  <PropertyGroup>
    <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
    <TargetFramework>netcoreapp2.1</TargetFramework>
    <RuntimeFrameworkVersion>2.1.5</RuntimeFrameworkVersion>
  </PropertyGroup>

</Project>

I had the same problem with version 2.2 and 2.2.3 which is resolved by adding TargetLatestRuntimePatch in csproj as suggest here

<PropertyGroup>
  <TargetLatestRuntimePatch>true</TargetLatestRuntimePatch>
</PropertyGroup>
