Unclear which Target Frameworks are supported.

[DavidRieman]

I'm using Visual Studio 2010 Premium. I had to use the NuGet commandline to try to install it as directed by the readme, since it wasn't showing up in the normal Extension Manager Online Gallery.

With a brand new project, I've tried retargeting .NET 3, .NET 4 Client Profile, and .NET 4, and always getting errors like the following:

Install-Package : Could not install package 'FireSharp 2.0.3'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets '.NETFramework,Version=v4.0,Profile=Client', 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.

If there's something major I'm missing, it would be nice to get that in the readme. Or perhaps the nuget package is broken?

[DavidRieman]

Got this working. Had to switch to a less convenient machine, in order to get > Vista, in order to get > VS2010, in order to get .NET targeting > 4.0, in order to get the FireSharp package to take. So I suspect you can list development environment requirements as Windows 7+, .NET 4.5 (Client?)+, VS 2012+.

Hi @DavidRieman , I'll take a look at this asap. Thank you for your feedback.

I am also running into the same issue, and I couldn't find the DotNet requirement. As @DavidRieman said, it'd be nice to know the requirements, is it required to have .Net > 4.5?

Thanks

I get: "Could not install package 'FireSharp 2.0.3'. 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." Trying to use this package for a Xamarin project. Am I doing something wrong?

Cant install on framework 4.0.

"Install-Package : Could not install package 'FireSharp 2.0.3'.

Any advice?

Still get problems with firesharp together with Xamarin.

A solution that worked for me in Xamarin Studio: Change Build profile of PCL to PCL 4.5 - Profile49

Could not install package 'Microsoft.Bcl.Build 1.0.14'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets 'MonoAndroid,Version=v6.0', 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.

Adding Microsoft Build - from nuget first Microsoft.Bcl.Build.1.0.21 and then adding the firesharp solved it

I had the same problem when trying to install the package to a "Blank App (Native Portable)" in Visual Studio. The solution for me was to either create a "Blank App(Xamarin.forms Portable)" or Create the project in Xamarin studio as a single view application and then install the Nuget from there

I am having the same issue, trying to install FireSharp 2.0.4 in a Xamarin Portable project.

Tried installing with 'ignore dependencies' turned on in an attempt to isolate the issue. I get the following error; Could not install package 'FireSharp 2.0.4'. 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.

-- EDIT -- It appears that the FireSharp project targets .NET 4.0

I have the same problem as MarkLawson, sindersola and kittythecat. Install-Package : Could not install package 'FireSharp 2.0.4'. You are trying to install a package into a project that targets '.NETPortable,Version=v.4.5,Profile=Profile111', but the package does not contain any assebly references or content files that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.

Would be nice if it will be fixed soon, since it already exists over half a year now

Here is the solution for Xamarin Studio:

Right-click on your Project (not solution) > Options > Build > General > Set your current Profile to PCL 4.0 - Profile 78. After clicking "OK" you need to Retarget the packages. Just right-click on the packages directory and select retarget. Now try to install the nuget package again :) It should work.
