dotnet core app run as administrator

I found the simplest workaround would be to add the app.manifest file with the setting like what in net framework app

<requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" />

then on your net core project file (.csproj in C# project) add the following:

<PropertyGroup>
  <ApplicationManifest>app.manifest</ApplicationManifest>
</PropertyGroup>

*Worked in Console and WPF netcore 3.0

Add <ApplicationManifest>app.manifest</ApplicationManifest> to your csproj file.

MyProject.csproj

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">    
  <PropertyGroup>
    <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
    <TargetFramework>netcoreapp3.1</TargetFramework>
    <ApplicationManifest>app.manifest</ApplicationManifest>
  </PropertyGroup>    
</Project>

Add the below app.manifest file to your project.

app.manifest

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<assembly manifestVersion="1.0" xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
  <assemblyIdentity version="1.0.0.0" name="MyApplication.app"/>
  <trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2">
    <security>
      <requestedPrivileges xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
        <requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" />
      </requestedPrivileges>
    </security>
  </trustInfo>
</assembly>
