Microsoft.AspNetCore.App 2.1.1 upgrade "Blocked by project"
Easy. Was looking for a resolution for this earlier and I all I had to do was just add this in the projects affected.
<PropertyGroup>
<RuntimeFrameworkVersion>2.1.1</RuntimeFrameworkVersion>
</PropertyGroup>
Additionally for .NET Core 3 and beyond,
<PropertyGroup>
<TargetFramework>netcoreapp3.1</TargetFramework>
</PropertyGroup>
There was also an answer posted by Patrick below pointing out that certain projects require the .NET Core App NuGet Package. You won't need that anymore after .NET Core 3.
I had only Microsoft.NETCore.App 2.1.1
installed and couldn't update to Microsoft.NETCore.App 2.1.2
in Manage NuGet Packages...
window because it showed "Blocked by project":
In the the image above it shows I'm on the latest version already because I did the following...
1 - download the latest version (v2.1.302 as of now) of .NET Core SDK here:
https://www.microsoft.com/net/download
2 - install it and run the following command in Visual Studio Package Manager Console
or in Windows PowerShell. It should show the following:

PM>
In my case it was caused by missing Version
attribute on Microsoft.AspNetCore.App
.
For some reason when the WebApi project was created the package was referenced like this:
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.App" />
Adding the missing attribute resolved all issues with updates and builds on the build server.
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.App" Version="2.1.1" />
