'AzureIoTHubClient' does not name a type

[hiattco]

OS and version used: Windows 10 1803 & Raspberry Pi Jessie
Arduino IDE Version 1.8.5
Azure IoT Hub Library 1.0.45 (also tried 1.0.40 and 1.0.17)
GitHub Master Branch (As of 7/6/2018)
Trying on both Node MCU and Wemos D1

Description of the issue:

When going to compile the ESP8266 connect the dots project (connectthedots/Devices/DirectlyConnectedDevices/ESP8266/connect_the_dots/) I get an error 'AzureIoTHubClient' does not name a type .

Code sample exhibiting the issue:

No changes have been made from the code cloned aside from the connectionString, ssid, and pass variables.

Hi @austnalio, sorry for the late answer on this one.
The Azure IoT Arduino library has been updated some time ago with breaking changes. I need to go back and update this sample. In the meantime, try using the version 2.3.0 for the ESP8266 board package and version 1.0.17 for the following libraries: azureiothub, azureiotutility, azureiotprotocol_mqtt.
Let me know if that unblocks you.
I'll keep the issue open till I resolve the issue and will edit the readme to make sure people use the older versions of the libraries
Thanks

Hi, you should also bump (or let the) ArduinoJSON library (stay) to 5.13.5.

Sorry I have not been maintaining this project much. Hopefully I can spend some cycles soon to refresh it.
