[Query] Microsoft.Azure.Storage.Blob dependencies are not netstandard2.0 compatible

Query/Question When attempting to use Microsoft.Azure.Storage.Blob one of the dependencies is Microsoft.Azure.KeyVault.Core 1.0.0 but is not built for netstandard2.0. Do I need to worry about these warnings in my project?

Warning NU1701 Package ‘Microsoft.Azure.KeyVault.Core 1.0.0’ was restored using ‘.NETFramework,Version=v4.6.1’ instead of the project target framework ‘.NETStandard,Version=v2.0’. This package may not be fully compatible with your project.

Can Microsoft.Azure.KeyVault.Core please be compiled for netstandard2.0 to reduce the dependency warnings & issues?

Why is this not a Bug or a feature Request? This could be an oversight (bug) or it could be a feature request (compile for netstandard2.0) but I’m just asking the question.

Setup (please complete the following information if applicable):

• OS: Windows 10
• IDE : Visual Studio 2019
• Microsoft.Azure.Storage.Blob: v9.4.2
• Microsoft.Azure.KeyVault.Core: v3.0.3

@AgSync-Aaron Thanks for reaching with your question. First to answer your question about the warnings, these are benign. Microsoft.Azure.KeyVault.Core only contains two interfaces and will work on netcore or desktop. See, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.azure.keyvault.core?view=azure-dotnet. Also, while I agree that your project level fix feels ‘not right’ it is also benign as these interfaces haven’t changed since 1.0.0. In fact the only changes we’ve made to this package are in the targeted frameworks. (This is most likely why Microsoft.Azure.Storage.Blob hasn’t rev’d it’s dependency on 1.0.0)

That being said I agree that this issue is confusing and causes doubt about whether the developer is doing the right thing, or whether it will work at run time, so I think we should consider reving Microsoft.Azure.Storage.Blob’s dependency to a version of Microsoft.Azure.KeyVault.Core to a version which targets netstandard.

Amazing this just came out today just a couple hours ago… https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Azure.Storage.Blob/10.0.0

makes life simpler now. Had to go to net452 from net45 but that works for me.

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFrameworks>net452;netstandard1.5;netstandard2.0</TargetFrameworks>
  </PropertyGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Azure.Storage.Blob" Version="10.0.0" />
    <PackageReference Include="Newtonsoft.Json" Version="10.0.3" />
  </ItemGroup>
