.Net core 3.1 After publish Antiforgery.dll was not found

Question

I have a simple application with a ContactUs form built using .Net core 3.1. I am using Razor light package for rendering the razor template and using Fluent email api.

During development, everything works fine. But as soon as I publish the app I received the following error when I try to send an email

System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot find reference assembly 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.Antiforgery.dll' file for package Microsoft.AspNetCore.Antiforgery.Reference

How to resolve this issue? I even add the following line in my project file

<PreserveCompilationReferences>true</PreserveCompilationReferences>
    <PreserveCompilationContext>true</PreserveCompilationContext>

But that also didn't work out. The error only occurred after publish. I also notice there is no Antiforgery.dll in the publish a directory
