Upgrading IdentityServer v7 to v8 When to Use This Skill Upgrading a Duende IdentityServer project from v7.4 to v8.0 Fixing build errors after updating NuGet packages to v8 Migrating custom stores/services to new v8 interfaces Running EF Core database migrations for v8 (SAML tables) Replacing deprecated APIs (ICache, IClock, IAuthorizationParametersMessageStore) Core Principles v8.0 requires .NET 10 — update TFM before anything else All breaking changes are compile-time errors (no silent behavior changes) Migration is mechanical — find/replace patterns work for most changes Run EF migrations even if you don't use SAML (schema must match) Always check the latest stable 8.x package version on NuGet before upgrading — do not hardcode 8.0.1; use whatever the latest stable (non-prerelease) 8.x version is at the time of the upgrade.
