The signature of the PushStreamContent constructor changed. Its onStreamAvailable parameter is an Action or Func generic type. The trouble is that the compiler doesn't know which type to bind to.

So to resolve the error cast the streamAvailableHandler as an Action:

response.Content = new PushStreamContent((Action)streamAvailableHandler);

And the handler method would be:

private void streamAvailableHandler(Stream stream, HttpContent content, TransportContext context) {
  ...write to stream
}
