Using this as the external tracking issue for the issue we have been talking about recently. @mikadumont this should be added to the known issues.

The workaround currently is to use C# Dev Kit along with C#.

[wahmedswl]

@arkalyanms Why switch to Dev Kit? Not using Dev Kit due to licensing issue, so its explicit decision. When release version is working, pre-release should also be compatible.

Would really appreciate if there is workaround etc otherwise have to stick with release version. Will release version remain compatible or it will also start to have issues just like pre-release version?

Thanks

[jasonmalinowski]

@wahmedswl We are still investigating exactly why this is breaking -- the recommendation for DevKit as a workaround isn't a permanent recommendation, just that's what would unblock with the bits we have released.

[wahmedswl]

@jasonmalinowski Thanks for the Note, will wait for the fix.

[wahmedswl]

Release version now also has this BUG, what happened? Pushed the version even knowing having BUGS?

Thanks
