Is Azure Notification Hubs package compatible with .NET Core?

Question

I'm working with a .NET core app, and I see some Azure packages are not compatible, for example NotificationHubs and SendGrid:

Package Microsoft.Azure.NotificationHubs 1.0.5 is not compatible with netcoreapp1.0 (.NETCoreApp,Version=v1.0)
The dependency SendGrid.CSharp.HTTP.Client 2.0.4 does not support framework .NETCoreApp, Version=v1.0

I only tried adding NotificationHubs and SendGrid. I haven't even tried any ActiveDirectory packages yet.

Does anyone have any idea if some of these packages will be compatible soon? Or maybe I'm doing something wrong? Or is there a way in a .NET core app to reference an older package?

Thanks!

[Original answer] As of mid-July 2016 Azure Notification Hubs SDK is not available for .NET core. The product team is working on it, but there's no ETA yet.

At the moment, there are two ways to work around it:

• Use WindowsAzure.Messaging.Managed Nuget package as described in Getting started with Notification Hubs for Windows Universal Platform Apps
• Through REST APIs. (List of methods.)
