AOT-compatible Microsoft.Azure.Devices.Client

[michalczerwinski]

I tried to use AOT-compiled .NET 8 with ModuleClient but it failed:

• it builds with warnings about Newtonsoft.Json.dll, DotNetty.Transport.dll and Microsoft.Azure.Amqp.dll
• in runtime I got

Unhandled Exception: Microsoft.Azure.Devices.Client.HsmAuthentication.HttpHsmComunicationException: Error calling GetTrustBundleWithRetry

After closer examination this is due to old json serializer used here:

Is there any roadmap for AOT-compatible Microsoft.Azure.Devices.Client ?

We don't have any plans to support AOT compiled applications at this time. We also don't plan on migrating away from Newtonsoft in the near future either, unfortunately.
