I know this is tagged 'consider-for-current-release'. But just to confirm, the plan is to ship it with .Net 8 right?

Upvoted. This is the last major piece required to get native code web apps working without losing out on productivity.

@jeswin the plan is still to ship experimental support, but it's not yet clear what we'll manage to complete before the work window for 8.0 closes.

Thanks for the update.

I opened issue here but maybe that was wrong spot https://github.com/dotnet/core/issues/8704 @roji

I see in issue https://github.com/dotnet/efcore/issues/29725 some people said it was now working. I can't seem to get the Microsoft.Data.SQLite to work with AOT publish. is there a certain version I should try?

Thank you!

@JOULTICOA can you please open a new issue in this repo (not dotnet/core), with the exact versions and full error(s) that you're seeing? Ideally, with a minimal code sample as well.
