Summary
The Platform API SDK for .NET currently leverages ini-parser to read and load configuration from an INI file (GitHub repository.
Due to the lack of support for recent .NET frameworks, this dependency will be removed in future versions of the Platform API SDK for .NET. The SDK will instead use built-in methods to read and load configuration from an INI file.
This update will apply to new versions of the Platform API SDK for .NET released on and after Tuesday, September 30, 2025.
Effective Date
Tuesday, September 30, 2025
Details
The ini-parser library has not been maintained for several years and is incompatible with recent .NET frameworks (8.0, 9.0).
After updating project dependencies (removing the ini-parser dependency):
• No impact is expected for applications that do not use the SDK configuration file or that use the SDK configuration JSON file.
• Applications that use the SDK configuration INI file are also not expected to be impacted. However, it is recommended to test applications with the pre-release or with SDK versions released on or after the effective date to identify any potential issues.
A pre-release of the Platform API SDK for .NET, reflecting this change, is available in the “prerelease-08-2025” branch of the platform-client-sdk-dotnet repository.
