Replacing UnityBootstrapper with PrismBootstrapper

[johnnildo]

Hello,

As it is well known, UnityBootstrapper has been marked obsolete on Prism 7. On Prism 8 it has been removed.

I've read a few posts (S.O., here) discussing migrating to PrismApplication, but no mentions of the new PrismBootstrapper.

In addition, the tutorials only speak of PrismApplication. Now, it is much easier to just replace the base class from UnityBootstrapper to PrismBootstrapper and make a few adaptations than to move everything into the App.xaml.cs.

Why was PrismBoostrapper introduced? Are there disavantages of using it as opposed to PrismApplication?

Thank you

The bootstrapper is used for headless applications such as extensions, or custom implementations. Just move to PrismApplication
