Using PnPContextFactory with AOT (ahead of time) compilation

[mcshaz]

with AOT set to true, the following Console App code (reading the PnP.Core settings from appsettings.json file) fails on the last line below:

[DynamicDependency(DynamicallyAccessedMemberTypes.All, typeof(PnPCoreOptions))]
[DynamicDependency(DynamicallyAccessedMemberTypes.All, typeof(PnPCoreAuthenticationOptions))]

var host = Host.CreateDefaultBuilder()
	.ConfigureServices((hostingContext, services) =>
	{
		var pnpConfig = hostingContext.Configuration.GetSection("PnPCore");
		// Add the PnP Core SDK library services
		services.AddPnPCore();
		// Add the PnP Core SDK library services configuration from the appsettings.json file
		services.Configure<PnPCoreOptions>(pnpConfig);
		// Add the PnP Core SDK Authentication Providers
		services.AddPnPCoreAuthentication();
		// Add the PnP Core SDK Authentication Providers configuration from the appsettings.json file
		services.Configure<PnPCoreAuthenticationOptions>(pnpConfig);
	}).UseConsoleLifetime()
	.Build();
	
using var scope = host.Services.CreateScope();
// Obtain a PnP Context factory
var pnpContextFactory = scope.ServiceProvider.GetRequiredService<IPnPContextFactory>();
// Use the PnP Context factory to get a PnPContext for the given configuration
using var context = await pnpContextFactory.CreateAsync("SiteToWorkWith")

with the message:

Reflection-based serialization has been disabled for this application. 
Either use the source generator APIs or explicitly configure the 'JsonSerializerOptions.TypeInfoResolver' property.

Are there plans to move away from reflection based serialization on the PnPCoreOptions, or is there a workaround for the time being?

thank you
