APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Product components impacted: MFP SDK
  Affected mobile development environments:  Windows
  Mobile Devices Operating Systems impacted:  Windows 10
  User roles impacted: Developer and User
  Distribution:  npm
  Versions affected: 8.0
  
  On the MobileFirst server, gzip-compress-transfer was defined.
  When testing with a web browser as a client, the browser
  received the gzip-compress-transfer data correctly.  However,
  when trying to receive the data in a MobileFirst app on Windows
  10, a failure occurred.  The following error was written to the
  Visual Studio log:
  
  Failed to send native request (reason: 'SharpCompress,
  Version=0.10.3.0, Culture=neutral,
  PublicKeyToken=64eb6448c87dfed9' or one of its dependencies.
  The assembly version has a public key token that does not match
  that of the request. (HRESULT exception:0x80132001))
  
  The issue occurs because the native layer and the cordova layer
  have different a different PublicKeyToken for the
  sharpcompress.dll.
