Cannot run Azure Durable Functions on Mac M2 PRO

When trying to create and run a new Azure Durable Function (.NET 7 | Isolated), I am unable to run it successfully.

A host error has occurred during startup operation '8643db33-586e-4c53-92d0-476fbeb08331'.

I want to update the instructions to make it easy for other developers.

1. Add the Nuget package Contrib.Grpc.Core.M1 to the Azure Function Project by either using the Nuget Package Manager or by just adding the following line to the .csproj file. <PackageReference Include="Contrib.Grpc.Core.M1" Version="2.41.0" />

2. Add the following line to the .csproj file right before the last </Project> tag. <Target Name="CopyGrpcNativeAssetsToOutDir" AfterTargets="Build"> <ItemGroup> <NativeAssetToCopy Condition="$([MSBuild]::IsOSPlatform('OSX'))" Include="$(OutDir)runtimes/osx-arm64/native/*" /> </ItemGroup> <Copy SourceFiles="@(NativeAssetToCopy)" DestinationFolder="$(OutDir).azurefunctions/runtimes/osx-arm64/native" /> </Target>

3. Run the project and it should work!

For now as a workaround:

Add the package reference <PackageReference Include="Contrib.Grpc.Core.M1" Version="2.41.0" />

And add this to your csproj. <Target Name="CopyGrpcNativeAssetsToOutDir" AfterTargets="Build"> <ItemGroup> <NativeAssetToCopy Condition="$([MSBuild]::IsOSPlatform('OSX'))" Include="$(OutDir)runtimes/osx-arm64/native/*" /> </ItemGroup> <Copy SourceFiles="@(NativeAssetToCopy)" DestinationFolder="$(OutDir).azurefunctions/runtimes/osx-arm64/native" /> </Target>

This will copy the needed file to the folder required. Until there is a fix
