Acs Calling SDK in Windows Desktop Application Development

Question

Hi,
I am trying to develop a desktop application using WPF or UWP for communication that consists of chat and calling features using Azure communication services. I am having some issues with calling SDK. In the ACS docs, the calling SDK is implemented in the UWP.

I tried to install the Azure.Communication.Calling SDK in WPF.net5.0(version)
soon after installing

1. The XAML design window is showing unhandled exception has occurred
   The XAML Designer has exited unexpectedly. (Exit code: 8000808c)

Error:-NETSDK1130 Azure.Communication.winmd cannot be referenced. Referencing a Windows Metadata component directly when targeting .NET 5 or higher is not supported. For more information, see https://aka.ms/netsdk1130

In UWP after installing both the Azure.Communication.Calling SDK Version-latest prerelease 1.0.0-beta28 and Azure Communication.Chat SDK version-1.0.1
occurred Errors are

1. While using CommunicationUserldentifier method
   CS0433: The type 'CommunicationUserldentifier' exists in both 'Azure.Communication.Common, Version 1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=92742159e12e44c8' and 'Azure.Communication, Version=255.255.255.255, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null, ContentType-WindowsRuntime'
2. While using CommunicationTokenCredential method
   CS0433: The type 'CommunicationTokenCredential' exists in both 'Azure.Communication.Common, Version 1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=92742159e12e44c8' and 'Azure.Communication, Version=255.255.255.255, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null, ContentType=WindowsRuntime'.

Is there any solution to this problem?

Answer 1

The next beta drop of the Calling SDK will have the namespace renamed to avoid clashes with the Chat SDK.

Answer 2

The Calling SDK currently supports .Net Native only. As Augusto mentioned, a solution for the namespace conflict is in the works.

Answer 3

The beta 29 package available at https://www.nuget.org/packages/Azure.Communication.Calling has the namespace conflict fixed.
