Is Uno .NET7 ready when .NET8 is already coming soon?

[jbtdevgit]

Hi,

I am currently upgrading my project from .NET6 to NET7, and I am already having troubles with the previous packages I am using.
It seems like the toolkits are still on pre-release and when I create a new project using the template it installs the NET6 packages image shown below. As of right now .NET6 is already out of support and .NET8 is already coming in November, how come we still have .NET6 packages for .NET7 project template?

Even the InitializeComponent() is having troubles to build with Android and Mac Catalyst, any workaround for this?

Below are the .NET 7 toolkit

Hi @limeniye , Community.Toolkit.WinUI for windows is still in.NET5 https://www.nuget.org/packages/CommunityToolkit.WinUI/7.1.2 . Is this fine to use?

Nope, none of the packages are working, even with bare minimum project. Opened an issue #13175

Currently, I'am using the following versions:

<CommunityToolkitVersion>7.1.2</CommunityToolkitVersion>

<UnoCommunityToolkitVersion>7.1.200-dev.6.gf657bb2e91</UnoCommunityToolkitVersion>

Yes, it's ok. The version of your target framework should be higher than .net-4.0, if you want to use this package.

It's understandable to encounter frustrations when transitioning between .NET versions. Uno Platform's compatibility with .NET7 may vary, especially considering the rapid evolution of the .NET ecosystem. Regarding the persistence of .NET6 packages in the .NET7 project template, it's likely due to various factors such as compatibility concerns or development priorities.
