Missing namespace Phone when trying to create an app bar

I'm starting with Windows Phone development.

I'm trying to follow this Guide in order to create an app bar in my page. But in the first step when I add the line 

using Microsoft.Phone.Shell;

the compiler complains 

Error   1   The type or namespace name 'Phone' does not exist 
            in the namespace 'Microsoft' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

I created my project using Visual Studio 2013 community and the Blank App (Windows Phone) template.

I have checked and with the Blank App (Windows Phone Silverlight) template this does not happen but I read in other posts that silverlight is an older system so I suppoused I have not to use it

How can I solve this?

An App for Windows Phone RT must utilize the other AppBar class.

Please investigate the following article Quickstart: adding app bars (XAML) to get more information about modern app bars.

As in the msdn article itself, it says that it only supports for WP8 & 8.1 version of WPSilverlight. What's the app you created?

Normally Blank App would create a Runtime WP application(the normal XAML not the Silverlight), version of 8.1 which ideally won't support the namespace you mentioned above.
