The dotnet plugin does not support the current version of .Net Core
Metadata
Current evaluation
Request to update the snapcraft dotnet plugin to support .NET Core 3.0+ and bases beyond core16. The plugin has since been fully reworked in snapcraft 8.x to support core22+ and modern .NET SDKs, making this obsolete.
Suggested action: close stale
Reason: The issue is 2439 days old with 0 comments and no labels, filed against the snapcraft 2.x era when core18 was the latest base. The modern snapcraft 8.x codebase has a completely reworked plugin system with an extensions/dotnet/ directory and active dotnet plugin maintenance (e.g. snapcraft#4825 fixed a dotnet plugin registration regression in June 2024). The specific error about core18 incompatibility no longer applies since core18 is no longer a supported base.
