Xamarin.Android dependency netstandard13 package?

Question

According to the docs on the .NET Platform Standard, it seems like it should be possible for Xamarin apps to consume NuGet packages targetin netstandard13. However, when I try this I get the following error while trying to add the NuGet:

 Unable to find a version of 'System.Collections.Concurrent' that is compatible with 'npgsql 3.9.0 constraint: System.Collections.Concurrent (>= 4.0.12-rc2-24027)'.

I'm trying to do this on VS2015 update 2 + RC2 tooling. Is this not possible, is there another way to approach this?

Answer 1

That npgsql package seems to be depending on pre-release packages (RC - Release Candidate). Run the install with -pre option:

Install-Package npgsql -pre
