Dear all,
Forgive me if this is really a newbie question. I've started working with Xamarin and Xamarin.Forms. Now I'd like to try installing new packages but I cannot install almost any package on any platform.
My project is a plain Xamarin.Forms one, just created with the wizard, and I am trying, for example, to install log4net or Facebook into my Forms project Packages, or into the iOS one, I get errors:
Adding 'log4net 2.0.4' to TestProject.
Could not install package 'log4net 2.0.4'. 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.

The Xamarin version I'm using follows. Some packages I can install in the Forms project are EntityFramework, Microsoft.Net.Http (which installs also some dependencies).
Am I missing something here?
Thanks for any help!
