Could not load file or assembly 'GovukNotify, Version=7.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'. The system cannot find the file specified

Hi all,
This is my first post

I’ve got an issue when creating a custom activity following the new method using visual studio, This error occurs when trying to load the activity produced package into studio “Could not load file or assembly ‘GovukNotify, Version=7.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null’. The system cannot find the file specified.” it is set as a dependency in Visual studio with this “PackageReference Include=“GovukNotify” Version=“7.2.0” /”, the only solution I’ve found so far is to install the package “GovUKNotify” Package in studio is this correct or should studio be automatically adding this package in?

Any help greatly appreciated

Many thanks,
Tom
