Discontinued.

The code was moved into the Sentry SDK for .NET. Targets below net461 were deleted in there.

This code base will not be updated.

Sentry.PlatformAbstractions

Package name	NuGet
Sentry.PlatformAbstractions

The goal of this package is to simplify the .NET SDK by leaving the messy #ifdefs, platform specific code (operating system, runtime, etc) out into its own library. It also helps by allowing us to share code between the new .NET SDK and the current .NET SDK.

Most of the platform information used by the SDK goes to Sentry's Context Interface. When implementing this on SharpRaven it was clear that to get reliable information is not as trivial as it seems. This repo is an attempt to create a package which will provide reliable information in different types of apps.

Runtime information

If you are interested in the runtime information, with .NET Standard 1.5 onwards you can use: RuntimeInformation.FrameworkDescription, which will give you a single string

For example, .NET Core 2.0.6 on Linux returns: .NET Core 4.6.0.0. Besides not telling you what was actually installed on the machine, to get the version number you would need to parse the string.

The following table compares the results of that API call to what this library returns:

Target	OS	RuntimeInformation.FrameworkDescription	This library returns an object
.NET Framework 4.7.2	Windows	.NET Framework 4.7.3101.0	Name: .NET Framework Version: 4.7.2
.NET Core 1.1.7	macOS	.NET Core 4.6.26201.01	Name: .NET Core Version: 1.1.7
.NET Core 1.1.8	Linux	.NET Core 4.6.26328.01	Name: .NET Core Version: 1.1.8
.NET Core 2.0.6	macOS	.NET Core 4.6.0.0	Name: .NET Core Version: 2.0.6
.NET Core 2.0.6	Linux	.NET Core 4.6.0.0	Name: .NET Core Version: 2.0.6
Mono 5.10.1.47	macOS	5.10.1.47 (2017-12/8eb8f7d5e74 Fri Apr 13 20:18:12 EDT 2018)	Name: Mono Version: Mono 5.10.1.47
Mono 5.12.0.226	Linux	5.12.0.226 (tarball Thu May 3 09:48:32 UTC 2018)	Name: Mono Version: 5.12.0.226
