Dropbox API 2 supports .Net Core 1.1?

    The SDK supports .Net Core 1.1. You just need to make sure you have

    • <PackageTargetFallback>portable-net45+win8</PackageTargetFallback> added to both main and test projects.
    • Microsoft.NETCore.Portable.Compatibility nuget package installed for main project.
    • Visual studio doesn't return any error when the build process tries to restore nuget packages. Sometimes the restore may fail due to error like "Unable to resolve ...  for '.NETCoreApp,Version=v1.1'". If that happens you may need to re-open visual studio / re-add the project. Then a clean and re-build should remove the error.

    If the issue still persist please let us know.

     

    Thanks,

This isn't related to API v1 (the .NET SDK only uses API v2 to begin with). The API .NET SDK should work with .NET Standard 1.1+, though it may require some extra configuration.

If you are using project.json, you need to add portable-net45+win8 to imports under you frameworks section. If you are using .csproj file, you need to add <PackageTargetFallback>portable-net45+win8</PackageTargetFallback> element to your project.

    Hi Greg,

     

    Thanks for your quick response.

     

    I have already this in my .csproj -file.

    <PackageTargetFallback>$(PackageTargetFallback);dotnet5.6;portable-net45+win8</PackageTargetFallback>

    It comes as a default.

     

    Adding or replacing the element you sent doesn't seem to make any difference
