Azure Functions cannot create .NET Framework runtime anymore

Question

I have a .NET Framework console app that was being deployed on Azure Functions V1 using the .NET Framework runtime.

Trying to redeploy it now, and there's no option for a V1 or .NET framework runtime?

I only see the v2/.NET Core options which won't work for my app.

These are the choices on .NET runtimes

Yes, it seems that you are unable to create a v1 Function app in Azure Portal, however, you can still get there with a couple of extra steps.

First, create your app choosing .NET for the runtime stack and 3.1 as the version.

Once the app has been created, open the app configuration, switch to the Function runtime settings tab and change the Runtime version to ~1

However, as Jon suggests, v1 apps are likely going to become harder and harder to create so my advice would be to migrate as soon as possible.
