Outdated .NET versions lacking modern features

7/10 High

Developers maintaining codebases on unsupported or feature-limited .NET versions (Framework 4.8, Core 3.1, .NET 5-6) struggle to adopt modern C# features and syntax improvements. The path to upgrading to LTS versions is unclear and refactoring requires careful planning.

Query: “What are the most common pain points with MSAL for developers in 2025?”4/7/2026

Because the netcoreapp3.1 target framework has reached the end of life this past December, our team will no longer offer support for applications using MSAL with the specific version of .NET Core. We recommend upgrading to the latest version of the .NET platform, where possible.

Still using .NET Framework 4.8? .NET Core 3.1? .NET 5 or 6? These are either not supported or missing modern features. Upgrade to .NET 8 (or .NET 9 when it's LTS).
