Version .14 fails to load Newtonsoft.Json Version=11 out of the box

[LeviSchuck]

My azure function fails at runtime with the following message

Executed 'HttpTrigger' (Failed, Id=d431dc42-3683-407f-9738-7e4b501547b7)
System.Private.CoreLib: Exception while executing function: HttpTrigger.<ProjectName>: Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed'. Could not find or load a specific file. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131621). System.Private.CoreLib: Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed'.

Reproduced by

1. Create a new project for an azure function
2. Under dependencies, update Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Functions from 1.0.13 to 1.0.14
3. Press play and curl to the HttpTrigger

Observe that without updating the dependency from 1.0.13 (which uses an old Newtonsoft.Json), it works fine--although this dependency blocks many useful libraries due to incompatibility.

I have also added <PackageReference Include="Newtonsoft.Json" Version="11.0.2" /> and this does not resolve this problem.

Here is a 2 minute recording demonstrating a new project from scratch, which uses 1.0.13 (and works), and then does not work after merely updating.

Secondly, remaining on 1.0.13 and adding <PackageReference Include="Newtonsoft.Json" Version="11.0.2" /> reproduces the same problem.

This should be fixed with the GA version Please update to the latest and re-open the issue if you run into this issue again.
