GRPC C# Library For a Windows 8.1 Phone App

Question

Is it possible to use GRPC C# library with a Windows Phone App? When I try to install GRPC through NuGet I receive the following error:

Error Could not install package 'Grpc.Core 1.0.0'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets 'WindowsPhoneApp,Version=v8.1', but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author. 0

Has anyone had any luck installing GRPC C# library for a windows phone app?

Answer 1

As of now, Windows Phone Apps are not supported by gRPC C#. Technically, supporting them would be possible but we are not sure it's worth the work at this point - we have different priorities (User experience, performance and supporting other platforms).

Here's a github issue that tracks the discussion: https://github.com/grpc/grpc/issues/7859
