The error i am getting while installing PCL. Any idea about below mentioned error?

Could not install package 'xamstore-xamarin.mobile 0.7.1'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets '.NETPortable,Version=v4.5,Profile=Profile259', 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.

From Xamarin Developer Matt Ward on the Xamarin Forums

The NuGet package xamstore-xamarin.mobile 0.7.1 only supports MonoAndroid and MonoTouch. It contains MSBuild property files for these two frameworks. You will not be able to install it into a Portable Class Library (PCL) project since it does not have any files that target any PCL framework.

Instead you should be able to add it to a Android or iOS project.

Similarly Xamarin.Mobile from the component store supports Android and iOS projects. It has assemblies for those platforms as well as for Windows Phone 7/8 and Windows 8 (WinRT). So you would be able to add that component into an Android or iOS project but not a PCL project.
