Research direction

Start in clients/cloud/csharp and locate the project file that declares the Confluent.Kafka dependency. Check the current version against the reported 1.9.2 resolution, update the dependency if needed, and run the client on macOS to confirm librdkafka loads successfully.

Description

Description
Running this client was not possible on macosx due to the following error:
Unhandled exception. System.DllNotFoundException: Failed to load the librdkafka native library.
This occurs even after brew install librdkafka

Troubleshooting
Related issues: https://github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-dotnet/issues/1005
Seems Confluent.Kafka 1.8.2 has a dependency which is not included.
Installing with brew did not resolve this.

Bumping the version of Confluent.Kafka to 1.9.2 resolved this issue.
