GitHub Actions Failing to Build .NET 9.0 Project

[ZjzMisaka]

Description:
I recently updated my project to target .NET 9.0 after its release. I modified the csproj file to set the TargetFramework to .NET 9.0 and successfully built the project on my local machine. However, after committing the changes, the GitHub Actions workflow fails during the build step with the following error:

The current .NET SDK does not support targeting .NET 9.0. Either target .NET 8.0 or lower, or use a version of the .NET SDK that supports .NET 9.0. Download the .NET SDK from https://aka.ms/dotnet/download

This suggests that the version of the .NET SDK being used in the GitHub Actions environment does not yet support .NET 9.0.

Questions:

1. Is .NET 9.0 supported in GitHub Actions?
2. Do I need to configure my workflow specifically for .NET 9.0?

Task version:
actions/setup-dotnet@v3

Platform:

• Ubuntu
• macOS
• Windows

Runner type:

• Hosted
• Self-hosted

Repro steps:
https://github.com/ZjzMisaka/PowerThreadPool/blob/main/.github/workflows/test.yml

Expected behavior:
Successfully build

Actual behavior:
Build step with the following error:

The current .NET SDK does not support targeting .NET 9.0. Either target .NET 8.0 or lower, or use a version of the .NET SDK that supports .NET 9.0. Download the .NET SDK from https://aka.ms/dotnet/download

I may get a similar issue (?)

When I upgrade global.json from

{
  "sdk": {
    "version": "8.0.404",
    "quality": "release"
  }
}

to

{
  "sdk": {
    "version": "9.0.100",
    "quality": "release"
  }
}

I got error in my build:
