Description

  • This PR disables assembly preloading because we already implemented lazy-loading.
  • The definitions of dependency assemblies are centralized, and with more flexibility. You can specify a range of PowerShell versions to load a certain assembly, or a type of OS. Thanks to this the size of Az module is also reduced.
    • Duplicated Azure.Identity.dll is removed.
    • The following assemblies used to have both netframework and netstandard version in our codebase. This PR removed the netframework versions:
      • Microsoft.Bcl.AsyncInterfaces
      • Microsoft.IdentityModel.Abstractions
      • System.Memory.Data
      • System.Text.Json

Design

The core implementation is a new project named AssemblyLoading (and a new assembly Microsoft.Azure.PowerShell.AssemblyLoading) in Az.Accounts module. The two assembly loaders CustomeAssemblyLoader and AzAssemblyLoadContext will depend on this project to provide the list of assemblies to load according to the environment.

These lines were added to support data plane track 2 SDK (#11520). They preload Azure.Core.dll and its dependencies. But now Azure.Core is handled by Az.Accounts so these are no longer needed.
