Pnp-sites-core: Microsoft.Graph and Microsoft.Graph.Core fix Version dependency

[x ] Bug
[x] Enhancement

Environment

[x ] Office 365 / SharePoint Online
[ ] SharePoint 2016
[ ] SharePoint 2013

Observed Behavior

OfficeDevPnP.Core.Framework.Graph.UnifiedGroupsUtility has a dependency to Microsoft.Graph but this is not part of the SharePointPnPCoreOnline NuGet Package. So I got the following error:
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Graph, Version=1.1.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
when I try to use the CreateUnifiedGroup Method

Installation of the latest Microsoft.Graph package also didn't fix the Problem until I installed explicit Version of Graph and Grap.Code assemblies
<package id="Microsoft.Graph" version="1.1.1" targetFramework="net452" /> <package id="Microsoft.Graph.Core" version="1.2.1" targetFramework="net452" />

Steps to Reproduce

Install SharePointPnPCoreOnline and default Graph nuget package and use the CreateUnifiedGroup Method

I'm not sure if this is a good practice to use explicit version!? Did I missed something?

We are facing similar issue cause PnP uses bit old versions of Microsoft.Graph and Microsoft.Graph.Core dlls.

The September nuget package is referencing the graph (1.1) and Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory (2.18) versions which should fix the build errors. We'll first need to test/update PnP Sites core to work with the latest versions of these nuget packages. Please re-open this issue if it still is there when using the September 2017 or later version.
