Monkey.Robotics install issue -- PCL targets to be removed? How?

BillFulton

I have a Xamarin Forms PCL project and am trying to install the beta Monkey.Robotics component. It installs OK into the iOS and Android projects, but for the PCL I get:

Adding Monkey.Robotics...
Attempting to resolve dependency 'Newtonsoft.Json (≥ 6.0.8)'.
Adding 'Monkey.Robotics 0.5.2' to MyApp.
Could not install package 'Monkey.Robotics 0.5.2'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets 'portable
net45+win+wp80+MonoTouch10+MonoAndroid10+xamarinmac20+xamarinios10', 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.

Probably some of those targets need to be removed? How would I do that in Xamarin Studio?

Thanks

Bill

The Monkey.Robotics NuGet package does not contain any PCL assemblies, just assemblies for Android, iOS Classic and iOS Unified. So it looks like you will need to create an abstraction/interface in your PCL project and then implement that in your other platform specific projects.

Thanks Matt. On Monkey.Robotics Github there an interface defined, maybe that would do the trick.

Hi!
Did you get this problem resolved?
I am using the Xamarin Studio nad can not add the Monkey.Robotics library into my project.
I had no problem working on the unzipped sample BtLeExplorer project.
I get the same error message.
