Description
I'm trying to upgrade our project to .net core 5, which apparently requires upgrading to OData 8.
But, OData 8 appears to be incompatible with Microsoft.AspNetCore.OData.Versioning.ApiExplorer, so I was required to remove the dependency on that and change the startup call from
services.AddODataApiExplorer()
to instead use the one in Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Versioning.ApiExplorer
services.AddVersionedApiExplorer();
Not surprisingly, swagger isn't showing any of the OData API definitions. I cloned your samples directory and found that swagger doesn't seem to be working there, either.

What is the recommended way to get OData 8 API definitions hooked up to swagger?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the samples directory and the startup calls AddODataApiExplorer() and AddVersionedApiExplorer(). Reproduce the Swagger output with OData 8 and the ASP.NET Core 5 setup; done means the OData API definitions appear in Swagger without the incompatible versioning dependency.
