Latest Google.Cloud.Translation.V2 no longer compatible with UWP app

Question

I have been using Google.Cloud.Translation.V2 in a UWP app for a while. Its latest NuGet package is 3.1.0. Upgrading from 2.x to 3.x results in the following error:

NU1202: Package Google.Cloud.Translation.V2 3.1.0 is not compatible with uap10.0.19041 (UAP,Version=v10.0.19041) / win10-x64-aot. Package Google.Cloud.Translation.V2 3.1.0 supports:

• net462 (.NETFramework,Version=v4.6.2)
• netstandard2.1 (.NETStandard,Version=v2.1)

Does this mean the newer versions will no longer work with UWP apps?

TLDR; UWP is not a supported platform

From this GitHub issue:

We don't currently support UWP, and even if using grpc-dotnet makes it technical work, it's unlikely that we will prioritize UWP support over other work. So when we have moved over to grpc-dotnet by default, you may be in a situation where you can try to use the libraries and quite possibly be successful, but we would still not support it.

Also shown in this comment:

To reiterate: UWP is not a supported platform for these libraries. You could potentially use the Google.Apis.* NuGet packages, which don't use gRPC, but again, UWP isn't a supported platform for those either.

Final note (from this comment):

You may find that the REST-based libraries for whichever APIs you're using (packages starting "Google.Apis") work, but again those aren't actually supported on UWP.
