Unable to resolve type: Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting.IHostApplicationLifetime

See the original ticket in the dotnet runtime repository:
dotnet/runtime#104372

How I use the LightInject container in our dotnet8 asp.net core api project

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
builder.Host
    .UseLightInject()
    .ConfigureContainer<ServiceContainer>(container =>
    {
        ConfigureContainer(container);
        ConfigureServicesWithContainer(container, builder.Services);//Add services to the container.
    });
var app = builder.Build(); //Results in the exception
...

void ConfigureContainer(IServiceContainer container)
{
    //Bootstrap container
    //https://www.lightinject.net/#assembly-scanning
     var dllFilePaths = Directory.GetFiles(AppContext.BaseDirectory, "MyNamespace.*.dll");
     foreach (var dllFilePath in dllFilePaths)
      {
           var assembly = Assembly.LoadFrom(dllFilePath);
           container.RegisterAssembly(assembly);
      }

    //Add/override registrations
    container.RegisterSingleton<AppSettings>(factory => AppSettingsFactory.Create());
}

Should this be:

• fixed in the LightInject repo
• dotnet runtime/SDK
• in my own code while calling LightInject methods

Thanks
