Method “NewSocket” does not exist on .NET client.

Here’s the relevant doc link where this is mentioned: [Heroic Labs Documentation | Unity/.Net](https://heroiclabs.com/docs/nakama/client-libraries/unity/#nakama-socket)

`NewSocket()` is an extension method only present if using Unity, if you’re not using it then you should use `Socket.From(IClient)` as mentioned.

Hope this helps
