ci: Improvements in CI workflow

Description 📝

• Purpose: Improving GitHub CI and detecting build issues accurately
• Approach: Split the build process into each individual process and upgrade tooling
• Closes CI: MAUI Sample project android configuration error on GitHub Actions #59

Type of change

• CI fix

Updates

• Switch global dotnet version to latest 9.0.100
• Upgrade dependencies to minimum requirement
• Split dotnet build and dotnet test into different steps for each project
  • each step is marked as continue-on-error: true so it won't block the rest of the workflow job

Test plan 🧪

• CI should pass ✔️

My theory on why it failed to build is that for some reason 8.0.404 had this config error (not being able to find the Android framework), as the builds still worked on 8.0.403. I wasn't able to specify the exact version I wanted on CI. Switching to 9.0.x (9.0.100) fixed the build issue.

This shouldn't affect customers or any future releases, but requires that me (and anyone developing on this project) uses the latest stable Visual Studio / .Net SDK.

Looks good to me, just want to confirm though that given we're now using the .NET 9 SDK that we're still releasing a .NET 8 library?

[miquelbeltran]

The target framework remains net8.0 in the csproj TargetFrameworks>net8.0;</TargetFrameworks>, so my understanding is that it all still builds as .net 8 library, even if we use SDK 9 to build it.

Thanks for fixing this!!
