Azure Functions on .net core 3.0

Question

Now that .Net Core 3.0 has released what's the story for Azure Functions on core3?

When I try to flip a project to <TargetFramework>netcoreapp3.0</TargetFramework> it still reports as running on 2.2.

If I try to access an api that's 3.0 only it explodes, which makes sense since it seems to be forcing it's runtime despite the project settings.

Answer 1

Azure Functions is not available for .NET CORE 3 yet. For more information check here

Update

The Azure Functions 3.0 preview is now available!

Please see this post for instructions on how to use the preview on Azure and how to use the 3.0 tools locally: https://dev.to/azure/develop-azure-functions-using-net-core-3-0-gcm

Update 2

The Azure Functions 3.0 are generally available since December 9, 2019.

For migration instructions refer to docs: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-versions

Answer 2

Yesterday (09.12.2019), Microsoft announced the Azure Functions 3.0 go-live release which supports .NET Core 3.1 which has a Long Term Support (LTS).

On March 3, 2020, the Support for .NET Core 3.0 ends - so for anyone reading this, you should use .NET Core 3.1 and Azure Functions 3.0
