title: Developing for the Notification Hub on Mac OS - NodeJS/.Net Core support seems deprecated
body: <p>I am doing investigations into the Notification Hub in Azure. We are using Mac OS for our development environment, so only have use of .Net Core and Node JS SDKs. </p>
  
  <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46921298/is-microsoft-azure-notificationhubs-1-0-9-compatible-with-net-core-2-0">This discussion</a> and <a href="https://feedback.azure.com/forums/218849-notification-hubs/suggestions/16417780-microsoft-azure-notificationhubs-add-support-for" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this one</a> suggest that there is no option for developing against this without being able to use .Net Framework 4.6.1.</p>
  
  <p>We have managed to develop a POC using the <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/notification-hubs/notification-hubs-nodejs-push-notification-tutorial" rel="nofollow noreferrer">old NodeJS tutorial</a> (which seems incomplete, as it didn't work out of the box) however, we don't want to use that in production if it is going to be made obsolete within 6 months.</p>
  
  <p>Can someone please inform me of the correct way to integrate with the notification hub via a 'back end' without using .Net 4.6.1. Is the only option to use azure functions with output to notification hubs?</p>
