What's the timeframe on temporarily installing SQLitePCLRaw.bundle_green?

[ClubAssist-PatrickBoyer]

[Enter feedback here]
Per the title, the section SQLitePCLRaw.bundle_green, mentions an instruction to temporarily install SQLitePCLRaw.bundle_green to install the underlying dependency that exposes SQLite on each platform. Fair enough. I understand that. What's missing is why and for how long.

Can you please provide context on what makes it temporary? I want to know what are the conditions I should be looking for to remove the dependency. Is there something in the works in sqlite-net-pcl or MAUI we should be following?

Thank you.

Hi @ClubAssist-PatrickBoyer

The issue is this. sqlite-net-pcl has a dependency of SQLitePCLRaw.bundle_green >= 2.04. But for SQLitePCLRaw.bundle_green to work with .NET MAUI, you need >= 2.1.0. Once sqlite-net-pcl gets a new release that specifies the correct version for the dependency, there'll be no need to install SQLitePCLRaw.bundle_green yourself.

Thank you! The extra context is much appreciated and helps me with planning.

Happy .NET 8 Day and congratulations on the release.

@ClubAssist-PatrickBoyer FYI, we're going to switch to recommending Microsoft.Data.Sqlite instead. The doc should be updated by the end of the month.

@ClubAssist-PatrickBoyer Scrap my last statement.
