Uno SDK version change

[mhrstv]

I tried changing my Uno SDK version. I ran into functionality problems.
What I was running was Uno SDK 5.3.90

Steps:

• Changed my SDK version in the global.json file from 5.3.90 to a higher one such as 5.4 / 5.5 (In my case it was 5.5.43, and I also have previously tried with 5.4.10)
• Changed UnoExtensionsVersion from 4.2.2 -> 5.1.2
• Changed UnoToolkitVersion from 6.1.8 -> 6.3.6
• Changed HotReload in App.xaml.cs to UseStudio()

• On Desktop (Skia), when I run the program it loads correctly. Everything seemed to be working fine, until I opened a Content Dialog.
• Content dialog buttons are unusable / have no functionality.
• On Android it works as intended and has no running issues.

Thanks for the report.

You probably created your solution a while back, and starting from Uno 5.4, you can remove all the versions that are specific in the Directory.Build.props, those are handled automatically by the .NET SDK. You only need to the global.json uno.sdk version.

Note when changing uno.sdk, you need to close and reload the solution. Recent versions of Uno show a banner that automatically restarts VS after an uno.sdk change.

For the ContentDialog issue, can you provide a repro sample of the issue? I'm not able to reproduce what you've shown at this time.

As I said in the #development-help channel, I believe it would be better to migrate the old project files to a new one, running Uno SDK 5.5

I don't see the repro sample in the links you posted. A repro sample is as follows.

Re-creating the project with 5.5 should not be required there aren't many changes that could cause this type of behavior.

Thanks for the repro. ContentDialog is not supported when created inside a ResourceDictionary, the same is true when running WinAppSDK.

You must create a separate XAML file which contains your ContentDialog, uno provides a template for it in Visual Studio. You can find examples here.

Thanks!
How come it was running on Uno SDK 5.3 though?
Also, I'm not running WinAppSDK. Just a general question - it is intended only for MS Store apps, is that so ?

[mhrstv]

Ah, also, if I upgrade to Uno SDK 5.5, do I delete my package versions from the .props file ?

Yes, the versions are not needed, you only need the global.json uno.sdk version.
