What is the equivalent of Assembly.GetEntryAssembly() in .NET Core?

Question

In .net framework we could get the starting assembly using:

Assembly.GetEntryAssembly();

But that is removed from .NET Core. Also there is

Answer 1

Assembly.GetEntryAssembly() is available in .NET Standard 1.5, but not in versions 1.0 through 1.4. If you are only developing .NET Core and Universal Windows applications, version 1.5 should be sufficient for your needs.

If I remember correctly, AppDomain is destined to appear in .NET Standard 2.0. It is not available now.

Answer 2

I ended up injecting the entry assembly into the library.

In the library:

class AssemblyHelper 
{
     // This can be called instead of Assembly.GetEntryAssembly()
     public static Func<Assembly> GetEntryAssembly;
}

In the start-up application (which uses the library):

class Program
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        AssemblyHelper.GetEntryAssembly = () => typeof(Program).GetAssembly();

        ....
    }
}
