Glad to be getting rid of this!
Annotate any OS or platform specific code with the new (Un)SupportedOSPlatform(Guard) attributes and update various platform util methods to use the OperatingSystem.Is<platform> methods. This will help ensure we're not missing any OS checks in the future. For test projects we ignore these warnings since we're using skipping Xunit tests that are not applicable for the current platform already, making these warnings just noise.

@mjcheetham Any plan to return to this? |

@mjcheetham Might you have time to look at this again? |
Hey @hickford, we are still planning to update to .NET 8 on Mac and Linux, but as to Windows and dropping .NET Framework we're a little stuck right now because of a courtesy to Visual Studio (that bundle the same GCM version across all their versions) who need Windows 8.x support until.. 2029... 😢 I plan to reach out to them and find a way forward. |

In the meantime, here's the .NET 8 PR for Mac and Linux: #1579 |

Depends on: #1417Drop .NET Framework as the target framework on Windows in favour of .NET 8. Also update our Mac and Linux builds to .NET 8 from .NET 7. .NET 8 is an LTS release that is currently in a release candidate, which has a "go live" licence, and is due to GA in November 2023.
Now that we are targeting .NET 8 on all platforms we can drop all the .NET Framework specific code that we've been carrying. We also annotate all OS-specific code with the various attributes like
[SupportedOSPlatform]to silence warnings and more importantly guard against accidentally using such code on the wrong platform (like in #1146).
