question

Hello, I've a simple azure function to get a sharedgroup from playfab server api:

     [FunctionName("GetSharedGroup")]
        public static async Task<dynamic> Run(
            [HttpTrigger(AuthorizationLevel.Function, "post", Route = null)] HttpRequestMessage req)
        {
            var context = await FunctionContext<GetSharedGroupRequest>.Create(req);
            var request = new GetSharedGroupDataRequest
            {
                AuthenticationContext = context.AuthenticationContext,
                SharedGroupId = context.FunctionArgument.SharedGroupId
            };


           var playfabServerInstanceAPI =  new PlayFabServerInstanceAPI(
                new PlayFabApiSettings
                {
                    TitleId = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable(Constants.PLAYFAB_TITLE_ID, EnvironmentVariableTarget.Process),
                    VerticalName = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable(Constants.PLAYFAB_CLOUD_NAME, EnvironmentVariableTarget.Process),
                    DeveloperSecretKey = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable(Constants.PLAYFAB_DEV_SECRET_KEY, EnvironmentVariableTarget.Process)
                }
            );


            return await playfabServerInstanceAPI.GetSharedGroupDataAsync(request);
        }

FunctionContext<TFunctionArgument> is referenced from PlayFab.Plugins.CloudScript but it does not work and throws object reference not set to an instance of an object exception. I guess PlayFab.Plugins.CloudScript is outdated.

If I replace my code with this :

        [FunctionName("GetSharedGroup")]
        public static async Task<dynamic> Run(
            [HttpTrigger(AuthorizationLevel.Function, "post", Route = null)] HttpRequestMessage req)
        {
            var context = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<FunctionExecutionContext<JoinMatchRequest>>(await req.Content.ReadAsStringAsync());


            var request = new GetSharedGroupDataRequest
            {
                AuthenticationContext = new PlayFabAuthenticationContext { EntityToken = context.TitleAuthenticationContext.EntityToken },
                SharedGroupId = context.FunctionArgument.SharedGroupId
            };


            var playfabServerInstanceAPI = new PlayFabServerInstanceAPI(
                 new PlayFabApiSettings
                 {
                     TitleId = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable(Constants.PLAYFAB_TITLE_ID, EnvironmentVariableTarget.Process),
                     VerticalName = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable(Constants.PLAYFAB_CLOUD_NAME, EnvironmentVariableTarget.Process),
                     DeveloperSecretKey = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable(Constants.PLAYFAB_DEV_SECRET_KEY, EnvironmentVariableTarget.Process)
                 }
             );


            return await playfabServerInstanceAPI.GetSharedGroupDataAsync(request);
        }

It works, but the problem here is that as you see I am manually creating PlayFabAuthenticationContext and I pass only EntityToken, but I can not pass ClientSessionTicket because sample models don't have it. I was following this documentation and I've manually imported sample models into my project:.

Is it a best practice to use cloud script and azure functions like this or am I missing something. Also it's strange that PlayFab.Plugins.CloudScript does not work, because the official example also uses it:
