Came across the post after having issues with my project.json file not working anymore after the latest update.

 

Here is my Fix:

Then change the .csproj file to the following for netstandard1.4 as the example.

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

<PropertyGroup>
 <TargetFramework>netstandard1.4</TargetFramework>
 <PackageTargetFallback>$(PackageTargetFallback);portable-win+net45+wp8+win81+wpa8</PackageTargetFallback>
 </PropertyGroup>



Other stuff here
 </Project>

How it Works?

Basically we are telling the project that it can accept any of these “fallback” or second option targets, this enables a lot more compatibility with older NuGet Packages.

<PackageTargetFallback>$(PackageTargetFallback);portable-win+net45+wp8+win81+wpa8</PackageTargetFallback>

 

Clean Build -> Compile & It works 🙂

How to Fresh .Net Standard Project in Xamarin:

1. Create .Net Portable Xamarin Project
2. Create a new Standard Library
3. Edit the Standard Library .csproj file as shown above
4. Copy the files from the Original Portable Library into the NEW .Net Standard Project
5. Add the Required NUGET Packages
6. Reference & Compile!
