We are thinking this feature can ship in future .NET 11 and 10.0.200 SDKs.

Context: dotnet/android#10631 Context: dotnet/android#10640 Add support for calling the `DeployToDevice` MSBuild target during `dotnet run`. The target is invoked after the build step (or with --no-build) to enable deployment to physical devices or emulators. The main change here is to create the `RunCommandSelector` earlier in the `RunCommand` execution, so that it can be used both for selecting the target framework and device before build, and for invoking the `DeployToDevice` target after build. I tested this by making `DotnetRunDevices.csproj` include a target: <Target Name="DeployToDevice" DependsOnTargets="ResolveFrameworkReferences"> <Message Text="DeployToDevice: Deployed to device $(Device) with RuntimeIdentifier $(RuntimeIdentifier)" Importance="high" /> </Target> Where `DependsOnTargets="ResolveFrameworkReferences"` mimics what can happen in the Android workload. I had to stop caching each `ProjectInstance` in `RunCommandSelector`, as doing so can cause: 》"artifacts\tmp\Debug\testing\ItDoesNotCall---A078BA19\DotnetRunDevices.csproj" (DeployToDevice target) (1) -> 》(ResolveFrameworkReferences target) -> 》 artifacts\bin\redist\Debug\dotnet\sdk\11.0.100-dev\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\targets\Microsoft.NET.Sdk.FrameworkReferenceResolution.targets(410,5): error MSB4018: The "ResolveFrameworkReferences" task failed unexpectedly. 》artifacts\bin\redist\Debug\dotnet\sdk\11.0.100-dev\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\targets\Microsoft.NET.Sdk.FrameworkReferenceResolution.targets(410,5): error MSB4018: System.ArgumentException: An item with the same key has already been added.
