Is there a better way to solve this problem?

Tested with a simple project, works fine with .net7.0 and .net8.0.

using Microsoft.SemanticKernel;
using Microsoft.SemanticKernel.Connectors.Memory.Redis;
using sk_redis_test;

var apiEndpoint = Env.Var("AzureOpenAI:Endpoint");
var apiKey = Env.Var("AzureOpenAI:ApiKey");
var kernelBuilder = new KernelBuilder();
kernelBuilder.WithAzureChatCompletionService("gpt-35-turbo", apiEndpoint, apiKey);
kernelBuilder.WithAzureTextEmbeddingGenerationService("text-embedding-ada-002", apiEndpoint, apiKey);
using var memoryStore = new RedisMemoryStore("localhost:6379");
kernelBuilder.WithMemoryStorage(memoryStore);
var kernel = kernelBuilder.Build();

var collectionName = "test";

for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++)
{
    var key = await kernel.Memory.SaveInformationAsync(collectionName, i.ToString(), i.ToString(), i.ToString(), i.ToString());
    Console.WriteLine(key);
}

await memoryStore.DeleteCollectionAsync(collectionName);

@JadynWong Thanks for quick fix! Yes, we have similar problem in other packages as well. Looks like NRedisStack depends on System.Text.Json >= 7.0.2 which depends on Microsoft.Bcl.AsyncInterfaces >= 7.0.0, so there is version mismatch.

Is there a better way to solve this problem?

Usually, you can just specify concrete package version where it's needed, like this:

<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Bcl.AsyncInterfaces" Version="7.0.0" />

But with central package management it's not allowed to specify version in PackageReference attribute, so we need to use PackageVersion instead:

<PackageVersion Update="Microsoft.Bcl.AsyncInterfaces" Version="7.0.0" />

We use similar approach in other existing packages as well.

@JadynWong Did you try to remove the line with package version update and verify that issue can be reproduced in your scenario with simple project .net7.0/.net8.0, and then when you add it back, the issue is resolved?

@dmytrostruk Yes. I reproduced the issue in the simple project using the same approach as you described. When adding Microsoft.Bcl.AsyncInterfaces and set the version to 7.0.0, the issue was solved.

@JadynWong Sounds awesome, thank you!
