Multi-target all component libraries to fix NuGet downgrade error by Copilot · Pull Request #11932 · dotnet/aspire

Summary

Fixes #11888 by multi-targeting all component libraries under src/Components to net8.0;net9.0.

Problem

Users encountered a NuGet downgrade error (NU1605) when using Aspire component packages in .NET 9 projects:

error NU1605: Warning As Error: Detected package downgrade: Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting.Abstractions from 9.0.9 to 8.0.1. 
Reference the package directly from the project to select a different version. 
  otel.QueueCommon -> Aspire.RabbitMQ.Client 9.5.1 -> Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.AutoActivation 9.9.0 -> Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting.Abstractions (>= 9.0.9) 
  otel.QueueCommon -> Aspire.RabbitMQ.Client 9.5.1 -> Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting.Abstractions (>= 8.0.1)

This occurred because:

Component packages targeted only net8.0, which references Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting.Abstractions 8.0.1
They depend on Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.AutoActivation 9.9.0
AutoActivation 9.9.0 requires Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting.Abstractions >= 9.0.9
This created a downgrade conflict when the packages were consumed by .NET 9 projects

Solution

Multi-targeted all component libraries to net8.0;net9.0 following the established pattern used by other Aspire components like Aspire.Microsoft.Data.SqlClient. This allows the packages to reference framework-appropriate dependency versions:

net8.0: Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting.Abstractions 8.0.1
net9.0: Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting.Abstractions 9.0.9

When consumed by a .NET 9 project, NuGet now selects the net9.0 build which has dependencies compatible with .NET 9, eliminating the downgrade warning while maintaining backward compatibility with .NET 8 projects.

Changes

Updated 27 component library projects to use <TargetFrameworks>$(AllTargetFrameworks)</TargetFrameworks>:

Aspire.Azure.Data.Tables
Aspire.Azure.Messaging.EventHubs
Aspire.Azure.Messaging.ServiceBus
Aspire.Azure.Messaging.WebPubSub
Aspire.Azure.Npgsql
Aspire.Azure.Search.Documents
Aspire.Azure.Security.KeyVault
Aspire.Azure.Storage.Blobs
Aspire.Azure.Storage.Queues
Aspire.Confluent.Kafka
Aspire.Keycloak.Authentication
Aspire.Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos
Aspire.Microsoft.Azure.StackExchangeRedis
Aspire.Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.AzureAppConfiguration
Aspire.Milvus.Client
Aspire.MongoDB.Driver
Aspire.MongoDB.Driver.v3
Aspire.MySqlConnector
Aspire.NATS.Net
Aspire.Npgsql
Aspire.Qdrant.Client
Aspire.RabbitMQ.Client
Aspire.RabbitMQ.Client.v7
Aspire.Seq
Aspire.StackExchange.Redis
Aspire.StackExchange.Redis.DistributedCaching
Aspire.StackExchange.Redis.OutputCaching

Note: Aspire.Pomelo.EntityFrameworkCore.MySql and Aspire.Oracle.EntityFrameworkCore remain single-targeted to net8.0 because their underlying EF Core providers (Pomelo 8.x and Oracle 8.x) don't support .NET 9/EF Core 9 yet.

Added comments explaining the reason for multi-targeting to all updated projects.

Testing

✅ All 27 projects build successfully for both net8.0 and net9.0
✅ All existing tests pass for updated packages
✅ Verified NuGet packages contain correct framework-specific dependency groups
✅ Test projects using the packages restore and build without NU1605 warnings
✅ Restore completes successfully for the entire solution

Fixes #11888

Comments on the Issue (you are @copilot in this section)
@davidfowl @joperezr @eerhardt @joperezr We will likely need to have these libraries multi-target to fix this downgrade. @eerhardt Let's multi-target to fix this. I'll assign copilot
