Missing method Exception in the FeatureManagementProvider when upgrading MS Feature Management from 4.0.0 to 4.3.0

[madhon]

Hi, I'm using the following to register the MS Feature Management Provider.

    public static IServiceCollection AddFeatureManagementServices(this IServiceCollection services, IConfiguration configuration)
    {
        services.AddFeatureManagement();

        services.AddOpenFeature(featureBuilder =>
        {
            featureBuilder
                .AddHostedFeatureLifecycle()
                .AddProvider(_ =>
                {
                    var openFeatureManagementProvider = new FeatureManagementProvider(configuration);
                    return openFeatureManagementProvider;
                });
        });

        return services;
    }

This results in the following missing method exception when I upgrade the Microsoft.FeatureManagement.AspNetCore nuget from 4.0.0 to 4.3.0
