How do I create a class library for Windows Phone 8? Visual Studio keeps creating 8.1 project

I am using Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate. I have fallen into a trap where I can't seem to create a new Windows Phone 8.0 class library for a solution I have that is currently all Windows Phone 8.0 projects. Every time I use Project -> New to create the class library project, it is always targeted towards Windows Phone 8.1 and there is no option anywhere to target it for Windows Phone 8.0. Anyone know how to fix this?

You need to use Visual Studio 2012 and the Windows Phone 8.0 SDK.

Visual Studio 2013 will only let you develop 8.1 apps. Besides, that I'm not sure if the app store will accept 8.0 apps anymore. You might be stuck with doing version 8.1 apps.
