Your project is not referencing the ".NETPortable,Version=v4.5,Profile=Profile78"

Question

When i build my PCL project i received the following error:

Microsoft.NuGet.targets(186, 5): [null] Your project is not referencing the ".NETPortable,Version=v4.5,Profile=Profile78" framework. Add a reference to ".NETPortable,Version=v4.5,Profile=Profile78" in the "frameworks" section of your project.json, and then re-run NuGet restore.

Answer 1

Following error appears when you have .netstandard project in same directory and build it once. It leaves .json files in Obj directory and it breaks PCL project build.

Move .netstandard .csproj out of this directory and remove Bin and Obj directories.
