Add support for Windows Phone 7.1 using Microsoft.Bcl.Async #434

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Is it possible to make AutoFac for PCL profile that supports WP71 by leveraging 
Microsoft.Bcl.Async?

The purpose of Microsoft.Bcl.Async is to allow previously unsupported platforms 
to use the async and await keywords.

Autofac core doesn't actually have any uses of async/await, so this library 
won't help bridge the missing platform gaps required for the older platform.

Unfortunately, Windows Phone 7 doesn't support some of the other features like 
[AllowPartiallyTrustedCallers] that newer platforms support, nor does it 
support covariant generic interfaces (IRegistrationBuilder<out TLimit, out 
TActivatorData, out TRegistrationStyle>). We need that on the newer platforms 
and part of the reason for moving to PCL was to avoid the #if conditionally 
included code or compiling/testing against different specific platforms.

As such, I don't think we'll be able to add the support for WP 7.1. Sorry.
