ArcGIS Pro 2.5 SDK for .NET
Requirements
The requirements for the machine on which you develop your ArcGIS Pro add-ins are listed here.
.NET Framework 4.8:
- With the release of ArcGIS Pro 2.5, the minimum .NET target has been changed from 4.6.1 to 4.8. What does this mean for you and your add-ins?
- Existing add-ins, already deployed, will work at 2.5 with no change to their forward compatibility.
- New add-ins created at 2.5 will require the minimum target framework set to 4.8 or they will not compile (this is the default setting in the Pro SDK).
- Existing add-ins which are recompiled at 2.5 (e.g. because a code change was made) will also require the minimum target framework set to 4.8 or they will not compile. Note: As always, if an existing add-in is changed for any reason, the desktopVersion attribute in its Config.daml file should be changed to reflect the version of Pro it was last compiled against, in this case, now 2.5.
