Error installing Unity nuget package in Windows Phone 8.1 app project

I'm running Visual Studio 2015 on Windows 10.

File -> New Project -> Blank App (Universal Windows 8.1)

This creates a solution with 3 projects: a Windows 8.1 project, a Windows Phone 8.1 project and a Shared project.

If I try to install the Unity nuget package I get following error

Package Manager Console Host Version 3.1.1.0

Type 'get-help NuGet' to see all available NuGet commands.

PM> Install-Package Unity -Version 3.5.1404

Unity installs without error into the Windows 8.1 project.

How do I resolve this issue?

UPDATE: 16/9/2015 I get same behaviour on my work PC running Windows 10 and Visual Studio 2013.

UPDATE: 17/09/2015 Set nuget to show pre-release packages then install Unity 3.5.1405-prerelease.

I can install unity into both projects by the following nuget command:

Install-Package Unity -Pre

This installs version 3.5.1405-prerelease. According to nuget page for Unity both WindowsPhone and WindowsPhone8 are listed in the tags section.

The Unity NuGet package version 3.5.1404 does not support Universal Windows Projects.

It does support Windows Phone Silverlight projects.

If you create a Windows Phone Silverlight project you can install the Unity NuGet package into it.
