refit: Can't install refit 3.0.1 to Xamarin.Forms PCL; target compatibility error

I’m having the same problem, and none of the above solutions works anymore, … any more solution?

refit fails to install into a PCL profile 111 project, which uses a packages.config file, in Xamarin Studio 6.1.2 (NuGet 3.4.3) and Xamarin Studio 6.2 (NuGet 3.5). The error reported is:

Could not install package 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeInformation 4.0.0'. 
You are trying to install this package into a project that targets 
'.NETPortable,Version=v4.5,Profile=Profile111',  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.

I get the same error in Visual Studio 2015 (NuGet 3.5) with Dependency Behaviour set to Lowest.

A workaround for Xamarin Studio is to install System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeInformation first, which will install a later version 4.3.0. In Visual Studio 2015 you can switch the dependency behaviour option to Highest and refit can be installed.

System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeInformation 4.0.0 has a runtime/netstandard1.1 folder but it does not have a lib/netstandard1.1 folder which I am guessing is causing NuGet to fail.

So, Is’t enough to install refit via nuget and reference .netstandard lib into PLC project?

I think this is a bug oh the vs 2017 targets. Have you tried it in vs 2015 with all updates?

The latest VS 2017 RC has fixed this (edit: my issue https://github.com/paulcbetts/refit/issues/282#issuecomment-269705546)! 🎉

I’ve got it installed, but I’m getting

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(1909,5): warning MSB3274: The primary reference “Refit, Version=3.0.1.0, Culture=neutral, processorArchitecture=MSIL” could not be resolved because it was built against the “.NETPortable,Version=v5.0” framework. This is a higher version than the currently targeted framework “.NETPortable,Version=v4.5,Profile=Profile111”.

My setup

<TargetFrameworkVersion>v4.5</TargetFrameworkVersion> <TargetFrameworkProfile>Profile111</TargetFrameworkProfile>

Yes, NETStandard.Library 1.6.1 installs without any errors into a PCL project profile 111 with Xamarin Studio 6.1 and 6.2. It references System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeInformation 4.3.0 as you expected.
