Issued in Refit Issue #376

The docs did say

Refit currently supports the following platforms and any .NET Standard 1.4 target:

  • UWP

  • Xamarin.Mac
  • Xamarin.iOS

  • .NET Core

Have I missed something?

Solution

  • You are installing Refit 4 into a PCL. Refit is a NET Standard 1.4 library which cannot be consumed by any PCL profile.

    Upgrade your PCL to NET Standard (minimum 1.4) or downgrade Refit to a previous version which was not NET Standard.
