How to build Custom Activities in 2024?

I just followed a tutorial on how to build custom activities in C# using Visual Studio. The test activity used a Class Library (.NET Framework) project. I created a .dll and then a nuget package.

Sadly, my activity wouldn’t import into UiPath. It says “This package is not compatible with windows projects”. Grrrrr.

This tutorial was only 4 years old. There’s a ton of other similar tutorials that have the same method to create a custom activity. I also saw some on “Activity Creator”, whatever that is. But the documentations says that is now “deprecated”.

So how do we do this now?

If someone could point me to a step-by-step tutorial that is the latest, current way to do this, I’d be appreciative. I have in mind that I’d like to develop more UiPath activities in the future, so want to learn the correct way to do it. Thank you.
