Migrate to grpc-dotnet

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

https://grpc.io/blog/grpc-csharp-future/

TL;DR grpc-dotnet (the Grpc.Net.Client and Grpc.AspNetCore.Server nuget packages) is now the recommended gRPC implementation for .NET/C#. The original gRPC C# implementation (the Grpc.Core nuget package) will enter maintenance mode and won’t be getting any new features and will only receive important bug fixes and security fixes going forward. The ultimate plan is to phase out Grpc.Core completely at some point in the future. This announcement describes the reasons why we have decided to do so and lays out the plan in more detail.

Describe the solution you'd like

• Migrate the internal backend to the https://github.com/grpc/grpc-dotnet without breaking the API.
• We need to migrate the client to a higher .net version Migrate to .net core 3.1 #277
• Release with this change a new major version

Describe alternatives you've considered

Stick with the grpc-core

Additional context

This would solve #194

Hey @Zelldon, it has been a long time since there has been a release of a new version. What is you policy regarding not falling to for behind software updates?

My bootstrap project is highly dependent of your project and I would regret to see that it will be failing because of this.

For the time being could you add Apple M1 support to your project? (https://github.com/einari/Grpc.Core.M1)

Hopefully you will be able to release a new version which will fix a lot of issues including this one.

Thanks!

Arjan

Tbh I was also thinking for a while to create a new release but always miss it. I try to do it soon. Please remind me if I miss it again

Hi @Zelldon, now that .net 3.1 has already reached EOL, developers naturally look forward to code with .net 6.0 & Above. But the zb-client library has an internal dependency on Grpc.core, this has to be migrated to grpc-dotnet Without this support in the C# client, we are forced to stick to .net core 3.1 on the MAC, since the native Grpc library in C# is not available for arm based images.

Hey @xlegalles, absolutely, contributions are welcome!

I've pushed a PR #517
Note that I made this version for .NET 5, 6 and 7 because 3.1 has reached its end of support on December 13, 2022.
