Method not found KiotaClientFactory.Create after upgrading Communications packages

[vidilab]

Using PolicyRecordingBot, when upgrading Microsoft.Graph.Communications.* from (12.0.7270) to latest (1.2.0.10563), some adjustment in code are needed, but when that is done, there is an exception during startup. It seems to occur at BuildCommunicationsClientBuilder.Build().

System.MissingMethodException: 'Method not found: 'System.Net.Http.HttpClient Microsoft.Kiota.Http.HttpClientLibrary.KiotaClientFactory.Create(System.Net.Http.HttpMessageHandler)'.'

All packages are updated to latest with NuGet.

Microsoft.Graph.Core : 3.1.22
Microsoft.Graph : 5.60.0
Microsoft.Graph.Communications.* : 1.2.0.10563

The reason to upgrade is the bug fixes in the new version. Is there a way to use the new package versions? The reference project (CRFrontEnd.csproj) in github uses an even older outdated version:

<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Graph.Communications.Calls.Media" Version="1.2.0.3742" />

Same problem here.

@vipwlb in the Calls().OnIncoming += CallsOnIncoming.

we got other exception, (see below) . in the Calls().OnIncoming += CallsOnIncoming.

MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'System.String Std.UriTemplate.Expand(System.String, System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary 2<System.String,System.Object>).

So we updated to Microsoft.Graph.Core : 3.1.14 and we got the exception first mentioned in my comment.

[magnusdanielson]

also, could you share the exception details? @vidilab @magnusdanielson

I have the same exception as @stefan2410

in the Calls().OnIncoming += CallsOnIncoming.

System.MissingMethodException
  HResult=0x80131513
  Message=Method not found: 'System.Net.Http.HttpClient Microsoft.Kiota.Http.HttpClientLibrary.KiotaClientFactory.Create(System.Net.Http.HttpMessageHandler)'.
  Source=Microsoft.Graph.Communications.Calls

As far as I can see the problem is in the Calls() method. The strange thing is that if I copy the code from the Calls() method and create my own Callsz() method with just the call to the factory, I dont get the error.

public static void Callsz(this ICommunicationsClient client, bool maintainState = true)
        {
            HttpClient httpClient = KiotaClientFactory.Create((HttpMessageHandler)null);
        }

@magnusdanielson what Kiota version, do you have in your project ?
