ServiceStack.Text with Xamarin Forms

Trying to install ServiceStack.Client and VS complains about ServiceStack.Text with the following message

Could not install package 'ServiceStack.Text 4.0.56'. 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.

Any suggestions on getting past this?

Cheers

The Hello Mobile project shows the list of supported PCL Profiles:

Portable Class Library support

Most clients make use of ServiceStack's new PCL support which are contained in the following NuGet packages:

  • ServiceStack.Interfaces
    • PCL Profiles: iOS, Android, Windows8, .NET 4.0, Silverlight5, Windows Phone 8.1 (Profile 328)
  • ServiceStack.Client
    • PCL Profiles: iOS, Android, Windows8, .NET 4.5 (Profile 7)
    • Custom builds: NET40, Silverlight 5
  • ServiceStack.Text
    • PCL Profiles: iOS, Android, Windows8, .NET 4.5 (Profile 7)
    • Custom builds: NET40, Silverlight 5

Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Android do support the Profile 7 so it looks like the issue is due trying to create a Xamarin.Forms Portable Library Project, as you've discovered it seems the solution is to create a Xamarin.Forms Shared Project instead until we can investigate supporting Profile 111.
