.NET API Portability

Note: We're in the process of deprecating API Port in favor of integrating binary analysis directly into .NET Upgrade Assistant. In the upcoming months, we're going to shutdown the backend service of API Port which will require to use the tool in offline mode. The instructions to use API Port in offline mode can be found here.

This repository contains the source code for .NET Portability Analyzer tools and dependencies.

There is a Visual Studio extension available for VS 2017 and VS 2019: .NET Portability Analyzer

Using this Repository

See our contributing guide for instructions to build and run from the source code in this repo.

Sample usage to run the analysis from the command line:

./init.ps1
dotnet build src/ApiPort/ApiPort/ApiPort.csproj
dotnet bin/Debug/ApiPort/netcoreapp2.1/ApiPort.dll -- listTargets
dotnet bin/Debug/ApiPort/netcoreapp2.1/ApiPort.dll -- analyze -f Foo.dll -r HTML

If using bash for your shell, for convenience you may create an alias command adding the following to your ~/.bash_profile. Replace {dotnet-apiport-folder} with the path where you cloned the repo.

alias apiport="dotnet {dotnet-apiport-folder}/bin/Debug/ApiPort/netcoreapp2.1/ApiPort.dll"

This will allow you to use apiport globally from the command line: apiport analyze -f Foo.dll -r HTML
