Make sure to add <IsShipping>false</IsShipping> so we don’t ship this package to NuGet.

Seems like this package is being shipped to Nuget by dotnet/linker (https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.NET.ILLink), I'm not sure if it's necessary for xamarin purposes though.

If this package is already shipping, then we shouldn't mark it as non-shipping.

That package should not be on public nuget.org and it was not until net8 p1. We are shipping it via internal feeds only, please remove it from nuget.org.

I've requested for the package to be removed from nuget.
It sounds like we should also set IsPackableIsShipping to false here. Per @jkoritzinsky this means that it will be published to the dotnet8-transport feed only (not the dotnet8 feed which is intended for packages that will eventually be published to nuget when we release). Consumers will need to make sure to use that feed as a nuget source. Does this sound ok @marek-safar?

No, we need to keep the <IsPackable>true</IsPackable> property. That indicates that the library is packable, i.e. it makes a dotnet pack invocation work locally. If you set it to false, this library will never generate a package, neither locally nor on CI.
To control whether a library should be published to a transport feed but not to a stable feed (i.e. nuget.org), you want to use <IsShipping>false</IsShipping>.

🤦 sorry, I meant to write IsShipping.

@ViktorHofer - is there a reason why the ref assemblies doesn't get added automatically?

Reference assemblies aren't part of our core stack packages anymore since .NET 6. AFAIK this package needs the reference assembly, but it would be good to understand why.
…nes the reference files into a variable that can be used to add them to a package
This package should not be published to nuget. See #82407 (comment) for context.
