Application Build Configuration

By default, when your F7-based application is built, it is run through a process called linking (or trimming). While this helps keep binaries smaller, it can remove types, properties and methods, especially if they are only loaded via reflection. This is a common problem for classes used only for serialization and deserialization.

You can disable linking at an assembly level by adding a file called app.build.yaml to the root of your project and settinng the file properties to Copy Always.

Deploy:
  NoLink: [ Assembly1, Assembly2 ]

Add the assembly names you wish to omit from linking intop the nolink array. Note that this are assembly names, not file names, so they do not have a .dll extension.
