NETSDK1202: workload is out of support and will not receive security updates in the future

  • Article

NETSDK1202 indicates your project is using an optional workload that is out of support. An example of this is if you use net6.0 target frameworks in a .NET MAUI application:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFrameworks>net6.0-android;net6.0-ios;net6.0-maccatalyst;net6.0-windows10.0.19041.0</TargetFrameworks>

The best solution is to update to a newer, supported TargetFramework, such as net7.0 or net8.0. Note that using a .NET 8 SDK and .NET 8 MAUI optional workload does not support building net6.0 applications in any form, so this is a hard requirement when using the latest .NET SDK.

You can continue building net6.0 .NET MAUI applications with a .NET 6 or .NET 7 SDK in an unsupported fashion. Additionally, you can opt out of the warning in a project with the setting:

<PropertyGroup>
  <CheckEolWorkloads>false</CheckEolWorkloads>
</PropertyGroup>
