My current PCL setup in Visual Studio for the Xamarin twins

To get PCLs working for the Xamarin Twins (MonoTouch and Mono for Android) in Visual Studio - the only current changes I make are these two files which I add to:


C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETPortable\v4.0\Profile\Profile104\SupportedFrameworks




If you have previous files added - especially for VSMonoTouch - then please remove these .xml files as they may cause issues.

Following Evolve, we *hope* that these additional files won't be needed soon - hopefully in the next 4 to 8 weeks. Please bare with us - the best cakes take time to bake :)

    I tried the Monotouch one and it worked for me. I also had to select "Windows Phone 7.5" instead of "Windows Phone 7.1 or Higher" in add PCL dialog

    Yes I can confirm that it is working only with WP 7.5 (this is ok)

    Hi trying out my first mvvmcross demo.
    Freshly installed xamarin studio and VS2012 on Win8 . Configured the two files as described above, and succesfully created a PCL targeting .NET4.5, silverlight 4, WP7.5, Store Apps, Mono for Android. MonoTouch. But when trying to install MvvmCross Hot Tuna from Nuget i get

    Could not install package 'MvvmCross.PortableSupport 3.0.8.1'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets '.NETPortable,Version=v4.0,Profile=Profile104', but the package does not contain any assembly references that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.

    Not quite sure what to make of it?

      I was having the same exact setup and problem. The only problem was I needed to update Nuget.

    Hi, is there any updates about this topic?

    "Following Evolve, we *hope* that these additional files won't be needed soon - hopefully in the next 4 to 8 weeks. Please bare with us - the best cakes take time to bake :)"

    I have heard that PCL and Xamarin both support System.Threading.Tasks assembly but i just cant make it work.
