WIndows 10 Core IOT Project Types other than UAP

I am working with a RaspberryPi and Windows 10 IOT. I've run through the Hello World samples and am ready to try some more in-depth robot programming. I use Akka.Net a lot in this but can't get it to load via Nuget in the UAP. I get a cannot install error because it says that Akka.Net doesn't contain assembly references for Windows Verison 8.1. Can I deploy console apps or services to windows IOT? Or am I stuck waiting until Akka.Net adds a Windows 8.1 build target?

Thanks!

I know it's a fairly old post, but a quick update to this question is Windows IoT does support console application, but it's limited to C++ programming.

Follow a nice tutorial from here to find out how.

Windows 10 IoT Core only supports UWP, you can't use API and libraries that are not written for UWP. Someone have to rewrite them for UWP.

Just, for the reference (due to question title):
Latest version of Windows 10 IoT Core (Build 10586) supports multiple project templates. You can find complete list of templates at: https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/55b357e1-a533-43ad-82a5-a88ac4b01dec

Arduino Wiring project template is now supported into Windows 10 IoT Core. Refer following project article to understand Arduino Wiring for Windows 10 IoT Core: https://www.hackster.io/AnuragVasanwala/windows-10-iot-core-hydroflyer-f83190

You're stuck (for now). Remember that you're basically targeting the equivalent of Windows Phone. There are a ton of libraries that aren't available in the specific .Net Framework on the device, including System.Net (which kills a lot, including Akka.net)
