Will templates be updated for new versions?

[Invop]

Description

Are there any plans to provide updated templates that use the latest library versions?

Currently, creating a Teams Tab project from Visual Studio or Visual Studio Insiders results in very different setups:

Different libraries

• The template for .NET 8 / .NET 9 in Visual Studio creates Blazor app uses TeamsFx with SSO support.
• The template for .NET 8 / .NET 9 / .NET 10 in Visual Studio Insiders uses different libraries and includes a React SPA frontend instead.

Different templates in different environments

• The templates in this repository seem to target .NET 6, which appears to be out of support.
• Visual Studio and Visual Studio Insiders have their own versions of templates.
• VS Code doesn’t include any templates for C# at all.

Issue

Because of these differences, it’s unclear which approach should be considered the recommended or up-to-date one.
Also, when following the guides for the libraries used in the VS Insiders template, it’s not immediately clear how to handle user authentication (SSO) properly.

🤖 AI-Generated Preliminary Analysis:

Yes, templates are actively being updated to support newer versions and libraries, but there are differences across environments:

• Blazor/.NET Tab Templates: Outdated libraries (e.g., Fluent UI Blazor v3) are being upgraded to v4. You can manually update your code and NuGet references now; official template updates are coming soon. Issue & fix
• Visual Studio vs. VS Insiders: Each has unique template setups (Blazor with SSO vs. React SPA). These differences are known, and maintainers plan more alignment and documentation.
• VS Code Templates: No official C# templates yet; consider using Visual Studio or manual setup.
• .NET 6 Templates: Maintainers are moving away from .NET 6, migrating samples/templates to newer versions.

SSO and Auth: Documentation is improving. For React SPA or newer Blazor templates, you may need to manually follow authentication guides.

Recommended: Use newest templates available in your environment and manually upgrade libraries if needed. Track template update issues for latest progress.
