[DanielGoehler]

Describe the bug
ALOpsAppCompiler@2 fails during compilation while reading the manifest of BC 29 artifact apps.

e.g.:

Failed to read manifest for [C:\bcartifacts.cache\sandbox\29.0.48565.0\de\Applications.DE\Microsoft_AI Test Toolkit_29.0.48565.0.app]:
The following exception occurred while retrieving member "ReadNavAppManifest":
"Could not load file or assembly 'System.Collections.Immutable, Version=9.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'.
Could not find or load a specific file. (0x80131621)"

Do you have dotnet 9 sdk on your build server?

[DanielGoehler]

@waldo1001 No, but I installed it and it works. Thanks.

[DanielGoehler]

If .NET 9 SDK is installed Sign doesn't work anymore:

Confirming this issue on ALOps v2.476.10786 with BC 29.0.48782.0 (w1, Sandbox, NextMajor).

Same errors as described — both SymbolReferenceJsonWriter type initializer and missing System.Collections.Immutable, Version=9.0.0.0.

We tried installing .NET 9 Runtime, which did not resolve the issue. Will try .NET 9 SDK next.

Note: We only use NextMajor/NextMinor for compilation validation (no signing), so the signing regression mentioned by @DanielGoehler should not affect us.

Ideally ALOps should handle this without requiring manual .NET SDK installation on the build agent — the v29 VSIX already ships with the required assemblies, so the assembly resolver should be able to pick them up from the VSIX bin folder.

BcContainerHelper version: 6.1.6
PowerShell: 7.4.10
Agent OS: Windows

[MortenRa]

I bumped Powershell to 7.6.0 and that solved my problem as .NET 9 SDK did not work.

[acjdekorte]

Yes, powershell 7.6.0 indeed seems the real issue. Because the installation of .NET 9 SDK did not do the trick for me as well.

Thanks @MortenRa for the suggesting this solution.

[DanielGoehler]

Thanks @MortenRa, it looks good on our end as well.

[waldo1001]

I'll keep this one open to see if we can do better - but appreciated to find the solution!
