runtime: System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeInformation fails to install in Classic PCL with NuGet 2.x
The System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeInformation package will fail to install on NuGet 2.x because there is no lib\netstandard1.1 version. There is only a runtimes\win\lib\netstandard1.1 version, but as NuGet 2.x doesn’t understand runtimes, it’ll fail.
This affects installing .NET Standard Libraries into a PCL Profile 111 as it’s included by NETStandard.Library when evaluating dependencies for pcl profiles.
To repro:
With VS 2013 and NuGet 2.12
- Create a new PCL targeting .NET 4.5, Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8.1 (Profile 111).
- In the NuGet package manager, try to install the
S2Geometrylibrary
Actual results
Could not install package 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeInformation 4.0.0'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets 'portable-net45+win+wpa81+MonoAndroid10+xamarinios10+MonoTouch10', but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.
The S2Geometry library is a netstandard1.0 library and follows the advice of having a dependency on netstandard.library 1.6.0.

This work for me. When i ran into that issue today. I had to install System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeInformation before i install autofac.
When using @okosodovictor 's suggestion make sure that the dependency behaviour is set to ‘Highest’ in nuget package manager.
@okosodovictor You are the real MVP.
Thanks @okosodovictor !! Like others here, I was installing sqlite-net-pcl for a Xamarin.Forms PCL project in Visual Studio 2017 and your suggestion worked perfectly.
I was trying to use this with Xamarin Native targeting Profile 111 in PCL project. I was trying to install sqlite-net-pcl and it failed. After installing System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeInformation first and then install sqlite-net-pcl, it worked like charm. 😃 👍 thanks @okosodovictor
@okosodovictor thank you very much, it worked to me
My error was on installing sqlite-net-pcl in a solution with xamarin
To workaround use project.json in the PCL.
