You are installing Refit 4 into a PCL. Refit is a NET Standard 1.4 library which cannot be consumed by any PCL profile.

Upgrade your PCL to NET Standard (minimum 1.4) or downgrade Refit to a previous version which was not NET Standard.

actually I used 2.4.1 but Im having issue with [System.NotImplementedException: You've somehow included the PCL version of Refit in your app. You need to use the platform-specific version!](https://stackoverflow.com/q/46453218/3974048) – david Sep 28 '17 at 15:07
I also tried platform specific refit, but I referenced the core which also has refit installed, so does this mean that the referenced refit is used in each platform? Correct me if im wrong please – david Sep 28 '17 at 15:08
That is a different problem from what you have asked in the opening post. – Cheesebaron Sep 28 '17 at 15:10
Yes anyway thanks for the answer. I do think also that I need to upgrade my PCL to Net Standard. Is there any side effects upgrading? – david Sep 28 '17 at 15:16

I built the .Net Core app using Angular CLI, I stopped the dotnet watch run and re-executed the scaffolding (which was causing this build error) and it worked fine with no error
