Proj0401: Only publish executables

Executing dotnet publish publishes the application and its dependencies to a folder for deployment to a hosting system. Executing dotnet publish on a project with an output type other than exe or winexe has no effect. As a result, this rule advises to set <IsPublishable> to false. More info can be found here.
