Warning NETSDK1071 A PackageReference to 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.App' specified a Version of `2.1.6`

Question

I have the following warning

 Severity   Code    Description Project File    Line    Suppression State
Warning NETSDK1071  A PackageReference to \'Microsoft.Asp         


        

Answer 1

There's a few ways around this.

• If you include the PackageReference but remove the Version attribute, it should make the warning go away. This is because it is a metapackage, which (simply put) is a type of package that gets the version based on your framework version, more here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/packages#metapackages

• To disable the warnings, add AllowExplicitVersion:

<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.App" Version="2.1.11" >
  <AllowExplicitVersion>true</AllowExplicitVersion> 
</PackageReference>
