ACTION REQUIRED: HDC API users may need to update code for accessing submission blobs by Aug 28th

On August 28th, 2024, Hardware Dev Center APIs will change the type of blob urls that are returned in various API calls from service sas urls to user delegated sas urls. Partners using HDC Hardware dashboard API to automate driver submission process may be affected. The specific area affected is the upload and downloads through the download links in the submission response. All other aspects of the submission process that can be accessed through the API are not affected. Partners are recommended to update to latest version of the libraries they use to upload and download from Azure Blobs during the driver submission process.

Partners using C# are encouraged to move to Azure.Storage.Blobs or Azure.Storage.Blobs.Specialized library to ensure that driver submissions are not interrupted. Any partner already managing blob interactions through these libraries is not affected by this change. The following is an example of the BlockBlobClient:
