Install MvvmCross 3.0.7 NuGet package using Xamarin 4.7.6 (Alpha) fails on my setup

Question

Reminder: I'm using Xamarin (Droid) 4.7.6. Alpha version!

Creating a new Xxx.Core MvvmCross library: 1) Start new PCL library project 2) Select target frameworks: .Net 4.5, SL 4+, WP7.5+, .Net Store, Mono Android, VS MonoTouch 3) Install NuGet package for MvvmCross v3 - Hot Tuna

Fails:

Install failed. Rolling back... Could not install package 'MvvmCross.PortableSupport 3.0.7'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets 'portable-win+net45+MonoAndroid16+sl40+net10+wp71', 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.

Temporary solution:

Start by selecting only target frameworks: .Net 4.5, SL 4+, WP7.5+. Then install MvvmCross package (install fine). Then go to project properties and add the other target frameworks.

After this small hickup, no further issues.

do any of the solutions from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16529794/mvvmcross-3-0-6-nuget-package-installation-issue/16673624#16673624 help? Especially deleting any VSMonoTouch files? — Stuart, Jun 05 '13 at 13:53

The net10 part of your error line makes me particularly suspicious that you have some old VSMonoTouch xml files around.

To solve this you will probably need to:

remove the old VSMonoTouch file
add a new Xamarin.iOS MonoTouch file (mine are http://slodge.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/my-current-pcl-setup-in-visual-studio.html - but these may change when Xamarin launches its PCL support)
restart Vs
maybe start a new project or solution (I'm not sure where Vs caches its PCL list)
