ASP.NET Core 2.1 Preview 2 App Not working on Azure App Service

Here's the only thing that seems to have worked for me.

I did a self-contained deployment using

dotnet publish --self-contained -r win10-x64 -c Release

I then had to do a manual deployment -- in my case using FTP.

I really would like this issue to be resolved but if it's not resolved by my next deployment, I'll do the zip deploy. Because my app has a ReactJs frontend, there were thousands of files to deploy and FTP was not a lot of fun!

Because this approach doesn't depend on what's installed or not installed on Azure App Service, it's a much more straight forward solution.

I still want to be able to simply click Publish in Visual Studio though!

UPDATE: I just did a zip deployment and I'm still getting the errors I was getting before even though zip deployment was successful. So, something is still not right!
