Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
Hi,
I have an ASP.Net Core 1.1.1 app that uses the DropBox API. When starting Visual Studio 2017 I get an error message:
Package Dropbox.Api 4.3.0 is not compatible with netcoreapp1.1 (.NETCoreApp,Version=v1.1). Package Dropbox.Api 4.3.0 supports: - net45 (.NETFramework,Version=v4.5) - portable-dnxcore50+net45+win8+wp8+wpa81 (.NETPortable,Version=v0.0,Profile=net45+wp80+win8+wpa81+dnxcore50) - portable-net40+sl5+win8+wp8+wpa81 (.NETPortable,Version=v0.0,Profile=Profile328)
However, this message disappears when I compile and things seem to run just fine, except when I do Unit tests (XUnit). Then I get this error :
System.AggregateException : One or more errors occurred. (Could not load file or assembly 'Dropbox.Api, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=310f0e82fbb45d01'. The system cannot find the file specified.)
---- System.IO.FileNotFoundException : Could not load file or assembly 'Dropbox.Api, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=310f0e82fbb45d01'. The system cannot find the file specified.

-What is going on here? How come the app works fine, but fails when testing?
-Is there an older cached version hanging around or something?
-Should Dropbox.Api 4.3.0 be compatible with .net core? If not, which version of Dropbox API should I use?
-Has this anything to do with the phasing out of version 1 of the API?
Any and all comments are appreciated,

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

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

Hi Qiming,
Thanks for your reply.
I was missing the PackageTargetFallback -tag in the test project. That solved it. Thanks a million.
I do not have the Microsoft.NETCore.Portable.Compatibility -package installed. Things seem to work without it. Under what circumstances would I need to install this package?
All the best,
Oskar
Your code may not be able to compile if you call async method in the SDK without Microsoft.NETCore.Portable.Compatibility installed. If your code already compiles and works fine then you don't have to install it.
