.Net: Bug: NRedisStack is not StrongName signed and won't work for (.Net Framework target SDKs)

[anuj-modi]

Describe the bug
NRedisStack is not strong name signed so "Microsoft.SemanticKernel.Connectors.Redis" won't load it when being used from .NET Framework (I am using 4.8.1)

To Reproduce

// Use Azure AD authentication for Redis
var redisOptions = ConfigurationOptions.Parse(options.VectorStoreEndpoint)
                    .ConfigureForAzureWithTokenCredentialAsync(tokenCredential)
                    .Result;
var connectionMultiplexer = ConnectionMultiplexer.Connect(redisOptions);
builder.Services.AddSingleton<IDatabase>(connectionMultiplexer.GetDatabase());
builder.AddRedisVectorStore();

Expected behavior
I would expect this to load successfully.

Observed Error

Exception: System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. ---> System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'NRedisStack, Version=0.12.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. A strongly-named assembly is required. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131044)

Platform

• Language: C#, .NET Framework v4.8.1
• Source: NuGet Package Microsoft.SemanticKernel.Connectors.Redis version 1.47.0-preview with NRedisStack 0.13.3
• AI model: OpenAI:GPT-4o and text-embedding-3-large
• IDE: Visual Studio
• OS: Windows

@anuj-modi Redis have just released the 1.0 NRedisStack package so we'll update to that and see does that fix the problem.

@markwallace-microsoft I do not believe 1.0 will fix it because they are not currently signing their package. I opened redis/NRedisStack#416 and created redis/NRedisStack#417 to try and address this.
