@Leonardo-Ferreira, thanks for taking the time to relate your experience with the doc.
This issue is filed on the .NET 7 version of the topic. Were you working with .NET 7 and Visual Studio 2022, or was it actually .NET 8 Preview? (also available for this doc) I will test through them.

You can compare your project to the .NET 7 or .NET 8 samples for this tutorial, located here and look for a diff: https://github.com/dotnet/AspNetCore.Docs/tree/main/aspnetcore/grpc/json-transcoding/sample

.Net 7 (SDK 7.0.10) and Visual Studio for Mac version 17.6.3 (build 421)

Any news @wadepickett?

@Leonardo-Ferreira Trust you found your solution - I hit this same issue when pulling out the Protos into a shared project. Once I added the NuGet package - "Google.Api.CommonProtos" all worked fine. Just adding this info here for other souls.

in my dotnet 8 client application, I have added NuGet Google.Api.Gax.Grpc and it resolved this compilation error.
