Published: November 09, 2026 22:50:01 UTC Link: Retirement: Support for .NET 8 and .NET 9 on Static Web Apps is ending November 10, 2026
Update ID: 575106 Data source: Azure Updates API
Categories: Compute, Web, Static Web Apps, Retirements
Summary:
What was updated
Azure Static Web Apps is retiring support for .NET 8 and .NET 9 for managed Functions APIs as of November 10, 2026.
Key changes or new features
Support for .NET 8 and .NET 9 will end on November 10, 2026. After this date, no security updates or technical support will be provided for these versions in Azure Static Web Apps. Developers are required to migrate their managed Functions APIs to .NET 10 before the retirement date to ensure continued support and security.
Target audience affected
Developers and IT professionals who use Azure Static Web Apps with managed Functions APIs built on .NET 8 or .NET 9.
Important notes if any
Applications running on .NET 8 or .NET 9 will continue to function after November 10, 2026, but will no longer receive security updates or support from Azure. It is strongly recommended to plan and execute migration to .NET 10 ahead of the retirement date to maintain security compliance and access to support. Early migration helps avoid potential vulnerabilities and ensures alignment with Azure’s supported technology stack.

Background and Purpose of the Update
Microsoft Azure has announced the retirement of support for .NET 8 and .NET 9 on Azure Static Web Apps, effective November 10, 2026. The primary purpose of this update is to ensure that managed Functions APIs within Static Web Apps transition to newer, supported versions (.NET 10) to maintain security, reliability, and compliance with Microsoft’s lifecycle policies. This aligns with Azure’s ongoing commitment to provide up-to-date frameworks and to phase out older versions as they reach end-of-support.
Specific Features and Detailed Changes
The update specifically affects managed Functions APIs deployed within Azure Static Web Apps that currently utilize .NET 8 or .NET 9. After the retirement date, these versions will no longer receive security updates or technical support from Microsoft. The recommended action is to migrate all managed Functions APIs to .NET 10 before November 10, 2026. The update does not impact the operation of existing apps; they will continue to function, but without ongoing security patches or support.
Technical Mechanisms and Implementation Methods
Azure Static Web Apps integrate Azure Functions for serverless API backends, which can be developed using various .NET versions. The retirement process involves deprecating the runtime environments for .NET 8 and .NET 9 within the Azure platform. After the specified date, the build and deployment pipelines for Static Web Apps will no longer offer .NET 8 or .NET 9 as supported options for managed Functions APIs. Technical professionals must update their project files, dependencies, and deployment configurations to target .NET 10. This typically involves modifying the TargetFramework property in project files and ensuring compatibility with .NET 10 libraries and APIs.
Use Cases and Application Scenarios
This update is relevant for organizations and developers who use Azure Static Web Apps to host web frontends with managed Functions APIs written in .NET 8 or .NET 9. Typical scenarios include web applications requiring serverless API endpoints for business logic, authentication, data processing, or integration with other Azure services. Migrating to .NET 10 ensures continued access to security updates and support, which is critical for applications handling sensitive data or operating in regulated environments.
Important Considerations and Limitations
Integration with Related Azure Services
Azure Static Web Apps are tightly integrated with Azure Functions, Azure DevOps, and GitHub Actions for CI/CD workflows. Migrating to .NET 10 ensures seamless integration with these services, leveraging the latest features and security enhancements. Developers should update their build pipelines and deployment scripts to reference .NET 10, and validate integration points with other Azure services such as Azure Cosmos DB, Azure Storage, and Azure Active Directory.
Summary Sentence
Support for .NET 8 and .NET 9 on Azure Static Web Apps will end on November 10, 2026, requiring migration of managed Functions APIs to .NET 10 to maintain security updates and technical support.
