Can't install package on portable project

[acobrerosf]

I was trying to use this library in my project but I get the following when installing:

Could not install package 'NFCForms 2.3.0'. 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.

Tried in VS for Windows and Mac

I got the same error, but this time it was Profile259

@acobrerosf it worked with Profile49. I had to remove Windows Universal 10 and Windows Phone 8.1 from the Targets

@eirikro thanks for the tip! Unfortunately I need to make the app in a really sort time and as it is only meant to be for Android at the moment I changed to Java straight away, good to know for next time!

I am also having this problem with profile 259. Is there another profile that is compatible without removing UWP?

[markleavesley]

PS I have tried several other profiles but they need another SDK to be installed (I'm guessing Silverlight) which VS 2017 doesn't seem to want to do/support.

I'm trying to instal this in Xamarin Studio on a Mac but also getting the error, can I fix it some way?

I have same problem with VS2017:
Non è stato possibile installare il pacchetto 'NFCForms 2.3.2'. Si sta tentando di eseguire l'installazione in un progetto destinato a '.NETPortable,Version=v4.5,Profile=Profile259',
