[FEATURE] Build targets do not consider ARM based architectures

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The build targets defined in build.targets do not consider ARM-based architectures. This especially excludes user of Apple Silicon (M1, M2 based machines).
Describe the solution you'd like
Enhance the build matrix to consider ARM64-based systems
Describe alternatives you've considered
I do not see any alternative paths.
Additional context
n.a.
This is simply adding the line for the supported net60 target to the targets file. This should be easy enough. I'm sure it was there before so not entirely sure where it's gone.
The supported .net RIDs to add to the target file can be found here. Note that this will extend the build time for each added target.

If I understood correctly, for ARM users this is done by adding e.g. osx.13-arm64 in build.targets, then compile using ./publishtobinariesfolder.cmd? Which I can't directly run on Mac?
Seems like we need a bash/shell version of the automation? Or pre-build binary for ARM users.
@lechnerc77 were you looking for osx.13-arm64 or ios-arm64 when you mentioned apple devices?

I assume osx.13-arm64 is the right choice as I would target Mac/MacBooks and not iOS devices (although iPad Pro might be used, but more an edge case imho)
Why not add both? It's only a build target - we can generate both for a single change.
