Aws-sdk-net: AWSSDK.Extensions.CognitoAuthetication 0.9.4 can't work with AWSSDK.Core 3.5.x.x

[SETSinsperion]

Description

Good day. I have a Visual Studio solution (Community 2019) using AWS SDK, and for a couple of weeks I can´t update successfully all Nuget Packages related to AWS due to the package _AWSSDK.Extensions.CognitoAuthetication 0.9.4 can't work with AWSSDK.Core 3.5.x.x_. I've been working with stable versions 3.3.x.x of the AWS SDK NuGet packages, working OK, and versions 3.5.x.x packages are launched 2 weeks ago and from that time I can't update reporting the NuGet error/warning I was mentioned with AWSSDK.Extensions.CognitoAuthetication 0.9.4 package. A doubt related to this is: _what is the main difference between AWSSDK.Extensions.CognitoAuthentication and Amazon.Extension.CognitoAuthentication?_.

Reproduction Steps

1. Open Visual Studio and create a solution, inside that solution create a NET console app project.
2. Install via NuGet (your project > Manage your NuGet packages) AWSSDK.Core version 3.3.107.40
3. Now install via NuGet AWSSDK.Extensions.CognitoAuthentication version 0.9.4
4. Update AWSSDK.Core to the most stable version (in this moment 3.5.1.10).
5. In the Error List Visual Studio tab, you'll see warnings/errors related to Cognito packages (_CognitoAuthetication, CognitoIdentityProvider, CognitoIdentity_) that need AWSSDK.Core versions 3.3.17.2 >= && 3.4.0

Environment

• SDK Version: version 3
• Package Version: working OK will 3.3.x.x packages, need to update to 3.5.x.x packages
• OS Info: Windows 10 version 2004 (Build 19041.508)
• Build Environment: Visual Studio Community 2019
• Targeted .NET Platform: Solution with projects using
  
  
  
  • .NET Framework 4.6.1
  
  
  • .NET Standard 2.0
  
  

This is a :bug: bug-report

Have a good day @ashishdhingra . I found an issue that is completely related with this one that was reported 3 days before mine: https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-net-extensions-cognito/issues/57 . Do you have any news about this problem? Thank you in advance.

@hashitha greetings and have a happy new year 2021, I'm sorry for my late response. One of my main questions is what's the difference between AWSSDK.Extension.CognitoAuthetication & Amazon.Extension.CognitoAuthetication, in my project I have both Nuget packages installed. The AWSSDK.Extension.CognitoAuthentication is the one who has the problem about the update in this issue and I checked that this package don't have any update since the version 0.9.4, here you have the error (using VS in spanish, sorry for the language):

_Error NU1107 Se detectó un conflicto de versiones para AWSSDK.CognitoIdentityProvider. Para resolver este problema, instale o haga referencia a AWSSDK.CognitoIdentityProvider 3.5.0.2 directamente en el proyecto AWS Power Snippets. AWS Power Snippets -> Amazon.Extensions.CognitoAuthentication 2.0.2 -> AWSSDK.CognitoIdentityProvider (>= 3.5.0.2) AWS Power Snippets -> AWSSDK.Extensions.CognitoAuthentication 0.9.4 -> AWSSDK.CognitoIdentityProvider (>= 3.3.4.3 && < 3.4.0). AWS Power Snippets F:\Users\sergi\Documents\Visual Studio 2019\Projects\NetUtilitiesAWS Power SnippetsAWS Power Snippets.csproj_

I installed the Amazon.Extension.CognitoAuthetication and Visual Studio reported me that my project was successfully compiled, so I have that doubt if the AWSSDK.Extension.CognitoAuthentication isn't needed for the solution or AWS hasn't reported this package is not longer needed for Cognito in .NET. I'm using Cognito code to manage credentials for my Cognito accounts, both packages have the same description at Visual Studio Nuget Manager, so I don't wanna remove one or another package if I'm not sure the difference of usage.

Can you help me answering this doubt @hashitha ? Beforehand a lot of thanks.

Hello @SETSinsperion,

Amazon.Extension.CognitoAuthetication (https://www.nuget.org/packages/Amazon.Extensions.CognitoAuthentication/) is the replacement for AWSSDK.Extension.CognitoAuthetication and should be used moving forward.

The 2.0.0 version of Amazon.Extension.CognitoAuthetication is compatible with version 3.5 of the AWSSDK packages.

We'll look into marking the older version as deprecated on NuGet. Thanks.

@ashovlin hello, a lot of thanks for your answer, that's not in the AWS .NET documentation, like many details. So I'. gonna do the changes in my solutions to test what you said to close this issue. Thanks for all that have contribute to this issue.
