+> [!NOTE]  
+> We have removed support for [NET Standard 2.0](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/the-future-of-net-standard/) with Parse .NET SDK 4.0. Xamarin developers should migrate to .NET MAUI to use the latest version of the Parse .NET SDK. Unity developers should use Parse .NET SDK <4.0 until Unity supports .NET and then migrate to the latest version of the Parse .NET SDK.
