Hi, trying to add the SDK in a Windows Phone Silverlight 8.1 app, I get this error:

Any ideas?

Hey, currently the SDK supports Windows RT (all 8.1+ devices) and plain .NET for portability reasons. Is there a specific reason you need Silverlight?

Hi,
It works like a charm in a plain WP8.1-project

No specific need for Sliverlight - but I had this existing Sliverlight app I wanted to add the Particle SDK to. I did get it working in the Silverlight app as well, by compiling the class from the source code in a stand-alone project, and adding a reference to it - so without nuget package manager.

Thanks!

Great! I’ll take a look and if Silverlight doesn’t require many code differences, I’ll add it as well.
