I have been using Google.Cloud.Translation.V2 in a UWP app for a while. Its latest NuGet package is 3.1.0. Upgrading from 2.x to 3.x results in the following error:
NU1202: Package Google.Cloud.Translation.V2 3.1.0 is not compatible with uap10.0.19041 (UAP,Version=v10.0.19041) / win10-x64-aot. Package Google.Cloud.Translation.V2 3.1.0 supports:
- net462 (.NETFramework,Version=v4.6.2)
- netstandard2.1 (.NETStandard,Version=v2.1)
Does this mean the newer versions will no longer work with UWP apps?

TLDR; UWP is not a supported platform
From this GitHub issue:
We don't currently support UWP, and even if using grpc-dotnet makes it technical work, it's unlikely that we will prioritize UWP support over other work. So when we have moved over to grpc-dotnet by default, you may be in a situation where you can try to use the libraries and quite possibly be successful, but we would still not support it.
Also shown in this comment:
To reiterate: UWP is not a supported platform for these libraries. You could potentially use the
Google.Apis.*NuGet packages, which don't use gRPC, but again, UWP isn't a supported platform for those either.
Final note (from this comment):
You may find that the REST-based libraries for whichever APIs you're using (packages starting "Google.Apis") work, but again those aren't actually supported on UWP.
