From 4348ba6dbb70159a403a34e07830f3f708de3c15 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Kennedy Date: Fri, 6 Mar 2026 07:54:42 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Fix NuGet install instructions for v8 component packages The previous instructions directed users to search for the monolithic packages CommunityToolkit.Uwp and CommunityToolkit.WinUI, which are no longer available since v8.0 (September 2023). CommunityToolkit.Uwp returns 404 on NuGet; CommunityToolkit.WinUI is an old unlisted v7 package. Update step 2 to: - Use the component prefix search (CommunityToolkit.Uwp. / CommunityToolkit.WinUI.) - Provide concrete examples of component package names - Add a NOTE callout explaining the v8 packaging change Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> --- docs/windows/getting-started.md | 7 +++++-- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/windows/getting-started.md b/docs/windows/getting-started.md index e348e1e40..4607ddf71 100644 --- a/docs/windows/getting-started.md +++ b/docs/windows/getting-started.md @@ -22,9 +22,12 @@ The toolkit is available as a set of NuGet packages that can be added to any exi 2.
