is ILMerge a supported way to use to merge different Dlls with the plugin Dll?

Online Dynamics 365 version 9 and above is PowerApps (Microsoft just add their functionality on top of the default PowerApps for CDS foundation) and as of today every online system will be on Dynamics 365 version 9 or above.
Now you can use ILMERGE but Microsoft will not support your solution if you use it. If you are online it would be better on both a support and architectural level to move the code that requires the use of external Dlls to an Azure function which you can call as and when required. If you are on premise it's safer to put the dll in the GAC and call it from there.
Hi Chadi Tannous,
I use ILMerge on rare occasions, but it is not supported.
You haven't mentioned if its on-prem or Online. The fact you mentioned ILMerge, i assume you meant online. If its on-prem you can still GAC the DLLs and i think will continue to work as is.
Like others mentioned, ILMerge never officially supported by MS but it worked both on-prem and online all these time no issues.
I think it should still be fine if we developing plugins for Default Dynamics 365 installation its just not supported by the new XRM Plafform model where we create Apps or PowerApps model driven apps.
As others confirm it is not supported (and it really never has been).
The recommended approach is to move the unsupported logic into an Azure Function and call it as and when required from within Dynamics 365....
Hi,
From MVP, it is not supported. :(
