Update Nuget dependencies to latest versions

[borrmann]

Description

The SDK depends on a few Nuget packages per default, which can't be updated in projects referencing it (or at least I couldn't find out how). This is blocking other package updates.

For example:
I am using the package 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.SignalR.Client' which depends on 'Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Abstractions' (>= 7.0.1), but MAUI depends on 'Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Abstractions' (>= 7.0.0) and has 7.0.0 installed which can't be updated through the NuGet Package Manager. Therefore, I am stuck with version 7.0.5 of 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.SignalR.Client' which is already at 7.0.9.

Public API Changes

Update the package dependencies with every monthly release.

Intended Use-Case

I can update NuGet dependencies at least after each monthly release.

We should make sure the actual dependencies in the MAUI projects are up-to-date, and also that the project templates are referencing the same latest versions.

@Eilon is there some way to manually update the packages in the mean time?

Hi, @borrmann - we recommend trying .NET 8 to avoid these issues!

But in the meantime, you can manually update by including something as follows in your csproj with the desired version:
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Extensions.Logging. Abstractions" Version="7.0.9" />

Hi @borrmann. We have added the "s/try-latest-version" label to this issue, which indicates that we'd like you to try and reproduce this issue on the latest available public version. This can happen because we think that this issue was fixed in a version that has just been released, or the information provided by you indicates that you might be working with an older version.

You can install the latest version by installing the latest Visual Studio (Preview) with the .NET MAUI workload installed. If the issue still persists, please let us know with any additional details and ideally a reproduction project provided through a GitHub repository.

The Workaround would be to manually target version 7.0.1 as version 7.0.9 does not exists on Nuget. Below is what I just put into my csproj to get around this issue
<ItemGroup> <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Abstractions" Version="7.0.1" /> </ItemGroup>

so the 7.0.306 SDK has a bug, or from what source this problem is coming from?
