No, that's the latest version of that package. That one doesn't version with a number that matches the shared framework.

[MrChriZ]

Sorry I don't understand - the latest version is deprecated as per the link you've provided?

[guardrex]

It's a false warning ... one doesn't typically use the package directly like this. Normally, this is used by the metapackage. I think a remark about this in the article makes sense. I'll open an issue and address it next week. I'll ping u on the issue in a moment.

... and I'll check further on this. I actually thought that if the shared framework has the package reference that it wouldn't need to be in the app's project file. I'll investigate and get back to you shortly.

Thanks - It would be good to have some clarity. I've used it in a .NET 7 project already directly and I've seen posts across the web where people are unsure about what they should be using in place of Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity - or if it is good to continue using it.

[guardrex]

Yep! I was right. That package reference shouldn't be there. It's provided by the shared framework. I'll re-open and remove it now.

Yes, you should be using it ... but NOT directly like this. I think Jeremy just made a slight mistake including it. It comes in via the shared framework. The app doesn't need a package reference for it.

[guardrex]

Ok ... we're good now ... fixed on commit ...

Thanks for opening this issue!

[MrChriZ]

Thanks - I think if you just remove the package you'll have the following error:
Error CS0246 The type or namespace name 'ClaimsPrincipal' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) Program.cs

potentially this can be resolved by referencing System.Security.Claims
