Package 'Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR.Core 2.2.2' was restored using '.NETFramework,Version=v4.6.1'

Question

I've installed SignalR.Core and it says the following...

Package 'Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR.Core 2.2.2' was restored using '.NETFramework,Version=v4.6.1' instead of the project target framework '.NETCoreApp,Version=v2.0'. This package may not be fully compatible with your project.

Why would a "Core" version of SignalR be incompatible with .net Core?

Answer 1

That's not the Core version of SignalR, that's the core package of the "classic" version.

SignalR was rewritten from scrach for .NET Core. The first alpha version was released on September 2017 as Microsoft.AspNetCore.SignalR. The latest version is 1.0.0 Alpha 2, released on October.

As the blog post explains, this is a significant redesign. You'll have to experiment with the new SignalR to see how the changes affect your application

You should probably track the Github repository and check this video that explains why SignalR was redesigned
