DDay on WinRT failing certification

Question

Started using the awesome DDay.iCal lib and right as I wanted to release my app I ran into the following compatibility issues (after running the standard certification tool)

•Error Found: The supported APIs test detected the following errors:◦API System.Text.UTF7Encoding in MSCORLIB, PUBLICKEYTOKEN=B77A5C561934E089 is not supported for this application type. DDay.iCal.dll calls this API.

I've since checked out the dday code on GIT and I'm trying to see if I can yank out the incompatible API's. Anyone have any luck with using DDay on WinRT applications in the past? Or any suggestions on how to typically get past these silly API restrictions?

Not sure why I'm being down voted. If you choose to do so please state why, what's missing? what's wrong? — nico van vuuren, Oct 05 '15 at 14:22

You'll have to remove all illegal references for Windows Runtime and find a supported equivalent, then recompile the library. This can be pretty cumbersome.

An alternative would be to put the logic that uses this library in a web service and call this service.

That much is clear yes, I'm trying to do that at the moment, but as you can imagine it's not easy altering a third party library and finding alternatives for each incompatible type. I was just wondering if anyone out there have worked with DDay on WinRT before, it seems a common enough library. – nico van vuuren Oct 05 '15 at 14:27

I guess people got tired of creating a BCL, PCL and Silverlight version of their class libraries and never managed to after all that effort create yet another version to also support WinRT, and I can relate to that. There's very few popular libraries that also have a WinRT compatible version. – CodeCaster Oct 05 '15 at 14:29
