NETSDK1144: Optimizing assemblies for size failed

  • Article

Error Message

The error NETSDK1144 is reported when an error occurs in the trimming process. The full error message is similar to the following example:

Optimizing assemblies for size failed. Optimization can be disabled by setting the PublishTrimmed property to false.

To disable trimming, set the PublishTrimmed property to false in the project file or the command line:

<PropertyGroup>
  <PublishTrimmed>false</PublishTrimmed>
</PropertyGroup>

dotnet publish /p:PublishTrimmed=false

Here's an example of a .csproj file with trimming disabled:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
    <TargetFramework>net8.0</TargetFramework>
    <RuntimeIdentifier>linux-arm</RuntimeIdentifier>
    <PublishTrimmed>false</PublishTrimmed>
  </PropertyGroup>
</Project>
