SelectPDF .Net Core 2.2: Exception: Conversion failure. Unable to load shared library 'kernel32.dll' or one of its dependencies

Question

I am trying to implement SelectPdf . I am working on a OS X and I think that is why I am getting this problem:

Exception: Conversion failure. Unable to load shared library 'kernel32.dll' or one of its dependencies. In order to help diagnose loading problems, consider setting the DYLD_PRINT_LIBRARIES environment variable: dlopen(libkernel32.dll, 1): image not found

Is there an alternative way for macOs?

Answer 1

Indeed, this is a dependency to Windows kernel library. If I believe https://selectpdf.com/docs/Installation.htm the .NET Core version is Windows only: ".NET Core version - Windows only" and "Note 2: The .NET Core version is for .NET Core 2.0 or above through .NET Standard 2.0. Currently it requires a Windows system to run. It does not work on Linux or Mac or Xamarin."
