Install Refit on Xamarin Forms PCL Error

[LuigiMaestrelli]

I'm trying to install the 3.0 version on my Xamarin.Forms PCL Application.
In the platform specifics projects the package installs with no problem.
But on the Portable project I got this error:

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. For more information, contact the package author.

I was able to install the 2.4.1 version without any problems, but not the 3.0.

My portable project targets:

• .NET 4.5
• ASP.NET Core 1.0
• Windows 8
• Windows Phone 8.1
• Xamarin.Android
• Xamarin.iOS
• Xamarin.iOS (Classic)

Closing as a dup of #257. The workaround is to use project.json instead of packages.config in your project. My blog shows how to use Xamarin Forms with project.json and .NET Standard.

Isn't Microsoft dumping project.json? https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2016/05/23/changes-to-project-json/

Is't enough to install refit via nuget and reference .netstandard lib into PLC project?
