[release/9.0-staging] Fix broken debugger/debuggee startup handshake protocol on macOS26. by github-actions[bot] · Pull Request #118212 · dotnet/runtime

Backport of #118120 to release/9.0-staging

Customer Impact

  • Customer reported
  • Found internally

On the MacOS 26, we found the debugger startup handshake using named sempahores are now broken when the debugger and the debuggee are signed with different team id's. This casues the entire VS Code C# debugging experience to be non-functional.

Interestingly, the MacOS release notes only show this being depreicated on iOS. Perhaps this will end up being true on future betas, but I don't think we should hold out any hope.

The fix in this PR uses named pipes first in the handshake and will fall back to the previous implementation if necessary. Mostly on backwards compatibility grounds.

Package authoring no longer needed in .NET 9

IMPORTANT: Starting with .NET 9, you no longer need to edit a NuGet package's csproj to enable building and bump the version.
Keep in mind that we still need package authoring in .NET 8 and older versions.
