System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeInformation fails to install in Classic PCL with NuGet 2.x #17966

clairernovotny · 2016-07-30T00:24:07Z

The System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeInformation package will fail to install on NuGet 2.x because there is no lib\netstandard1.1 version. There is only a runtimes\win\lib\netstandard1.1 version, but as NuGet 2.x doesn't understand runtimes, it'll fail.

This affects installing .NET Standard Libraries into a PCL Profile 111 as it's included by NETStandard.Library when evaluating dependencies for pcl profiles.

To repro:

With VS 2013 and NuGet 2.12

Create a new PCL targeting .NET 4.5, Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8.1 (Profile 111).
In the NuGet package manager, try to install the S2Geometry library

Actual results

Could not install package 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeInformation 4.0.0'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets 'portable-net45+win+wpa81+MonoAndroid10+xamarinios10+MonoTouch10', 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.

The S2Geometry library is a netstandard1.0 library and follows the advice of having a dependency on netstandard.library 1.6.0.

Are there other packages in the same situation as well?

DamienDennehy · 2016-07-31T23:06:14Z

I'm running into this issue using VS2015 Update 3 and both a Profile44 and Profile111 library.

To repro:

With VS 2015 Community Update 3 and NuGet 3.5

Create a new PCL targeting either Profile44 or Profile111.
Try to install System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeInformation 4.0.

Could not install package 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeInformation 4.0.0'. 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.

ericstj · 2016-08-01T15:29:27Z

To workaround use project.json in the PCL.

clairernovotny · 2016-08-01T15:53:35Z

That workaround doesn't work for VS 2013 or 2012.

ericstj · 2016-08-01T20:05:14Z

Yeah, keeping this bug open to track how to fix that. We could drop a reference assembly or some sort of default implementation into lib/netstandard1.1.

ericstj · 2016-08-03T20:27:17Z

Across all of our packages, if they have a ref with netstandard version 1.2 or lower, and no RID-less implementation, we should consider exposing a reference assembly or PlatformNotSupported assembly in lib/netstandard so that they can be used by profile-based portable w/ packages.config.

juanfranblanco · 2016-09-02T21:53:36Z

Any update on this?

ericstj · 2016-09-07T16:04:43Z

No fix as of yet. Also adding @Priya91 to look at a potential lib/NETStandard1.1 implementation of RuntimeInformation that isn't platform specific.

g0t4 · 2016-10-11T22:51:19Z

I've had luck installing a netstandard1.1 library into a PCL with Profile111 by not installing dependencies (NETStandard.Library). Everything I need is in the Available Assemblies https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/cross-platform/advanced/available-assemblies/ ... I've also had luck so long as I don't target the entire NETStandard.Library and instead use fine-grained package refs to only what I need (and obviously then those packages are compat)

Priya91 · 2016-10-24T20:22:09Z

Looking into dropping windows implementation from runtimes to lib/netstandard1.1..

pbrns · 2016-12-02T12:29:16Z

anything with this issue? i try to install via nuget autofac libraries with this message:
Could not install package 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeInformation 4.0.0'. 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.

alshyr · 2016-12-05T11:19:45Z

Would be nice to get it fixed soon

okosodovictor · 2016-12-05T18:07:35Z

This work for me.
When i ran into that issue today. I had to install System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeInformation before i install autofac.

Install-package System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeInformation
install-package autofac
That just work for me.

Priya91 · 2016-12-05T21:44:35Z

This is fixed in 1.1.0.. will be available in .net core 1.1 packages.

IsmaelMendonca · 2017-01-06T13:27:33Z

@okosodovictor that worked for me too, thanks a lot man!

ghost · 2017-01-09T21:21:48Z

Despite @Priya91's comment that it was fixed in 1.1.0, I had to follow @okosodovictor's suggestion before I got it working.

godrose · 2017-02-02T11:47:01Z

When using @okosodovictor 's suggestion make sure that the dependency behaviour is set to 'Highest' in nuget package manager.

This should make the DLL that we publish via NuGet as compatible with as many different consumers as possible. This creates a portable library that's usable from Mono, Xamarin, Windows Phone and Windows. Notably, it is *not* usable from Unity (which still uses an older runtime based on .net 3.5) but Unity has a separate packaging scheme and doesn't use NuGet. Note: according to the MS docs, I should just need a single dependency on "NETStandard.Library", but that doesn't work, apparently due to a bug in NuGet (https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/10445). I've therefore used a workaround suggested in that bug report, and explicitly listed the various System.* packages we depend on.

mcachopas · 2017-02-20T17:56:06Z

@okosodovictor thank you very much, it worked to me

My error was on installing sqlite-net-pcl in a solution with xamarin

DanielCauser · 2017-02-26T02:24:55Z

@okosodovictor Thank you man, this solved the issue while trying to install sqlite-net-pcl on xamarin studio on a xamarin.forms project.

vdangwal · 2017-04-26T16:14:24Z

I was trying to use this with Xamarin Native targeting Profile 111 in PCL project. I was trying to install sqlite-net-pcl and it failed. After installing System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeInformation first and then install sqlite-net-pcl, it worked like charm. :) 👍 thanks @okosodovictor

rndoherty · 2017-05-16T23:04:30Z

Thanks @okosodovictor !! Like others here, I was installing sqlite-net-pcl for a Xamarin.Forms PCL project in Visual Studio 2017 and your suggestion worked perfectly.

vinguan · 2017-06-01T03:10:05Z

@okosodovictor You are the real MVP.

hi-im-mike · 2017-06-14T13:14:24Z

Followed @okosodovictor advice, still could not install sqlite-net-pcl vs 2017.

Just kidding. Forgot that package management console applies to one package at a time.... this worked.
