1. Install .NET Core 3
Azure Functions v3 runs on .NET Core 3.
To install .NET Core 3, visit Download .NET Core.
I recommend selecting the latest LTS
version. LTS
stands for Long Term Support
, meaning that Microsoft is committed to supporting this specific version of .NET Core with bug fixes for approximately 2-3 years.
As of today, the current LTS
version of .NET Core is .NET Core 3.1.
2. Update the CSPROJ
- Visual Studio IDE Visual Studio for Mac Visual Studio Code To continue downloading, click here Visual Studio 2017 requires.NET Framework 4.6 or higher 2019-04-02T09:55:22-07:00.
- Download Visual Studio Code for macOS. After clicking on the Mac option on the download site, it will download a zip file, as shown below: Double-click on the downloaded zip to expand the contents. It will give a file, as shown below: Drag 'Visual Studio Code.app' to the 'Applications' folder, so as it available in the 'Launchpad.
Let's ensure our csproj
file has been updated for Azure Functions v3.
We'll need to set the following three things:
- Target Framework is
netcoreapp3.1
(or higher) - Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Functions NuGet Package is v3.0.1 (or higher)
- AzureFunctionsVersion is
v3
Here is an example from my GitTrends app: https://github.com/brminnick/GitTrends/blob/master/GitTrends.Functions/GitTrends.Functions.csproj
3a. (Visual Studio) Update Azure Functions Runtime
Using Clang in Visual Studio Code. In this tutorial, you configure Visual Studio Code on macOS to use the Clang/LLVM compiler and debugger. After configuring VS Code, you will compile and debug a simple C program in VS Code. This tutorial does not teach you about Clang or the C language.
Note: If you're using Visual Studio for Mac, skip to the next section
Let's now install the Azure Functions Runtime for Visual Studio 2019
- In Visual Studio, select Create a new project
2. In the Create a new project window, in the search bar, enter Functions
3. In the Create a new project window, in the search results, select Azure Functions
4. In the Create a new project window, select Next
5. In the Create a new Azure Functions Application window, stand by while it is 'Getting information about the latest function tools...'

6. In the Create a new Azure Functions Application window, once the new tools have been downloaded, click Refresh
3b. (Visual Studio for Mac) Update Azure Functions Runtime
Note: If you are using Visual Studio on PC, you may skip this step
Let's now install the Azure Functions Runtime for Visual Studio for Mac
- In the Visual Studio for Mac window, select New
2. In the New Project window, on the left-hand menu, under Cloud, select General
3. In the Configure you Azure Functions Project window, standby until it finishes installing the Azure Functions components
4. Conclusion
Updating to Azure Functions v3 requires a couple steps:
- Installing .NET Core 3
- Updating our
csproj
- Updating Visual Studio's Azure Functions Runtime
If you'd like to see an existing Azure Functions project using v3, feel free to check the Azure Functions Backend in my GitTrends app: https://github.com/brminnick/GitTrends/tree/master/GitTrends.Functions
