Uipath Activity Creator for VS2022 .NET version problem

[MarinAlexandru]

Hello,

I am trying to setup my Visual Studio 2022 with the UiPath extension, both VS2022 and UiPath extension are at the latest version ( v4 for UiPath ). When I try to create a new project UiPath Standard Activity Project, I get this error that the template requires .NET 4.6.1. My machine has .NET 6.0.401, and as I understood the latest update to the UiPath extension allows usage of .NET6.
Does anyone have any clue as to what I may be missing? Thank you.

Is there someone that can help me setup this extension? It is at version 4, I have all prerequisites installed ( VS 2022 latest version, marketplace package feed, .NET 6, UiPath extension v4 ) but it keeps asking for .NET Framework version 4.6.1
The documentation clearly states .NET 6 for version 4 of the extension

Using The Activity Creator

Edit: Managed to make it work after installing .NET 4.6.1 SDK ( I had other versions but not specifically this old SDK one ) : https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49978

Could you actually build and use the activities in Studio?

[MarinAlexandru]

Yes, it works ok now, I can add activities, build, and use the library / package in Studio.

I am also new to this. I can build and publish my custom activity but for some reason my packages dont show in the “Manage Packages” in Uipath Studio.
However when I create a custom activity without the “Uipath extention” I can import them and use them just fine.

Would you mind sharing a screenshot of your build/publish settings.
