Does ADAL support the PCL Profile 259?

I need to use an Active Directory Client from a PCL library (Profile 259).

I tried to install the ADAL nuget package: Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory, both the latest stable release 2.19 and the latest pre-release 3.5, but both the packages fails to install, showing the following error message: "You are trying to install this package into a project that targets '.NETPortable,Version=v4.5,Profile=Profile259', but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author."

As my understanding, this library should support the Profile 259 Is there any problem with the nuget package, or I'm missing something?

If I remove Silverlight from the supported targets (Profile 111), then the ADAL package gets successfully installed, but of course, I miss the Silverlight support.

Is there any way to install the ADAL nuget package in a PCL library which target Profile 259?

AFAIK, Profile 259 targets

  • .NET Framework 4.5
  • Windows 8
  • Windows Phone 8.1
  • Windows Phone Silverlight 8

but ADAL does NOT support Windows Phone Silverlight 8 in any version, as it uses the WAB - only available on Windows 8.x and Windows Phone 8.1. Hence, ADAL won't support Profile 259 either.
