Will this be recompiled using newer versions of .NET since .NET 5 is out of support?

I'm trying to build an electron app in Azure DevOps but the azure pipelines agent doesn't have .NET 5 installed by default any more. I can install it using a task before building the electron app but would rather see the package updated to a newer version of .NET.

Thanks!

Hi, have the same problem.
I tried to re-build ElectronNET.CLI from sourses for net-7.0, but it didn't worked.

as an option, you can find linux on which you can still install the sdk net 5 (ubuntu 20.04 for ex (https://www.makeuseof.com/install-dotnet-5-ubuntu-linux/)), although it is officially not incredible. Create a virtual machine with it and build the project on it.

I don't think this repository is maintained anymore.
You can try ElectronSharp, which is a fork of this project based on .NET 7.

@GregorBiswanger No... I am not asking for .NET 5.0 Support I am using .NET 6.0 Only but it asks for .NET 5.0 also. what is meant to ask was if any newer version gets released will it have/need any of the previous support for taking build.

This isn't my work in any way. I was looking at this project's forks and noticed:
This one by theolivenbaum

Which is updated way more frequently...

@riboyama I found a new co-developer for the project and we have a new refresh. A big update is coming in the next few weeks with some new innovations. Please just be patient.
