I'm working with a .NET core app, and I see some Azure packages are not compatible, for example NotificationHubs and SendGrid:

Package Microsoft.Azure.NotificationHubs 1.0.5 is not compatible with netcoreapp1.0 (.NETCoreApp,Version=v1.0)
The dependency SendGrid.CSharp.HTTP.Client 2.0.4 does not support framework .NETCoreApp, Version=v1.0

I only tried adding NotificationHubs and SendGrid. I haven't even tried any ActiveDirectory packages yet.

Does anyone have any idea if some of these packages will be compatible soon? Or maybe I'm doing something wrong? Or is there a way in a .NET core app to reference an older package?

Thanks!

  • Are you deploying on Azure or on a Linux environment? – Matias Quaranta Jul 11 '16 at 18:46
  • I'm deploying to Azure. I had everything working with RC1 and saw .NET core was officially released. I am testing to see how difficult it would be to migrate everything to .NET core and I'm having difficulty with some of the Azure stuff... :( – Primico Jul 11 '16 at 19:09

[Update 11/30/2017] Microsoft.Azure.NotificationHubs 2.0.0-preview1 compatible with .NET Core has just been published.

[Original answer] As of mid-July 2016 Azure Notification Hubs SDK is not available for .NET core. The product team is working on it, but there's no ETA yet.

At the moment, there are two ways to work around it:

  • The word on the street is that it should be published within the next two weeks. – Nikita R. Oct 06 '17 at 22:03
  • @NikitaG. In 7 days we shall see how well you read the future. – lucuma Oct 13 '17 at 21:48

    @lucuma, the ETA for a preview release is still the end of next week. From what I understand it will be a preview in the sense that the API has been finalized (identical to the existing one), but internals may need to get tweaks here and there if customers report stability issues that slipped through the testing. – Nikita R.

  • @NikitaG. Where are you getting your information? I'm not doubting what you say, I'd just like to know where to watch for a release. – shawnseanshaun Oct 19 '17 at 18:31

    @TastesLikeTurkey, I used to be on the product team and asked someone from there. My understanding is that it will be published to [Microsoft.Azure.NotificationHubs NuGet package feed](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Azure.NotificationHubs/) – Nikita R. Oct 19 '17 at 21:01
  • @NikitaG. Any word on this? I really want to get push notifications into my app, but unfortunately waiting on this package is what's holding up the whole works. – shawnseanshaun Nov 02 '17 at 12:07
  • @TastesLikeTurkey, sorry, I was away and just saw this. I asked someone on the team to check what's the latest and respond here when they have the information. They will update here in the comments soon. Sorry for the delay. – Nikita R. Nov 14 '17 at 18:14
  • @NikitaG. No problem! Thanks for the info! – shawnseanshaun Nov 14 '17 at 18:17

    @kspearrin, I apologize for the uncertainty. I'm told that the package is in the process of being published already. Both the package and an Azure update (since there's quite a bit of change) related to it are coming this week. – Nikita R. Nov 29 '17 at 23:24

    [Microsoft.Azure.NotificationHubs 2.0.0-preview1](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Azure.NotificationHubs/2.0.0-preview1) has been published about an hour ago. – Nikita R. Nov 30 '17 at 23:27
  • @NikitaG. Thank you for keeping us posted! – shawnseanshaun Dec 01 '17 at 13:41

If you are working on Azure, you are not required to use netcoreapp to use ASP.NET Core. You can still use ASP.NET Core with the Full Framework by targetting net461 instead of netcoreapp1.0 and it will still work, Azure has the Full Framework available and they are both compatible with the same version of NetStandard.

We have several Web Apps that run on netcoreapp1.0 and others on net461 due to package dependencies (like Azure SDKs), and all run on ASP.NET Core.

When the product team start releasing the .Net Core App compatible packages, just re-target netcoreapp1.0 and add the Microsoft.NETCore.App package and it will keep working.

  • Thanks for all the helpful advice. Since we are still a couple months away from release because we are still building the mobile app, I figured I would try to get the web app using the latest core, instead of updating it after going live. Unfortunately I probably won't be able to do that. Even adding a reference to a .NETStandard class library won't work.... Package Microsoft.Azure.ActiveDirectory.GraphClient 2.1.0 is not compatible with netstandard1.6 (.NETStandard,Version=v1.6) – Primico Jul 11 '16 at 19:32
  • Is there a way I can mark both of these answers as accepted? They both give great advice for how to proceed. Thanks again. – Primico Jul 11 '16 at 19:34
  • Do not add the reference to NetStandard, just use `net461`, check the [repo's project.json](https://github.com/ealsur/mvpstream/blob/master/project.json) :) – Matias Quaranta Jul 12 '16 at 01:54
