Adding Prism reference in Xamarin PCL project breaks build on Windows Phone 8.1 and UWP

I'm using some of core Prism classes in PCL Project for Multi-platform app. Everything Is fine (I chcecked only on Android as I don't have a Mac) until I add Windows Phone 8.1 or Universal Windows 10 Project and configure them like Xamarin website tells. What I receive is:

Cannot resolve Assembly or Windows Metadata file 'Prism.dll'

Type universe cannot resolve assembly: Prism, Version=6.1.0.0, 
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=91a96d2a154366d8.

When I remove all Prism related thing from PCL the projects build, so I'm considering copying prism project into my solution. Or maybe should I reference Prism as a dll instead of nuget or what?

I always thought that nuget takes the job of picking the dll with proper target.

Edit: Xamarin.Froms ver: 2.0.0.6490 (in all projects now) VS 2015.

You can't use the current NuGet packages if using UWP because NuGet will add the wrong assemblies to your Xamarin.Forms project. NuGet doesn't know you are using a Xamarin.Forms app and adds the wrong assemblies. You need to add the references manually.

See this issue: https://github.com/PrismLibrary/Prism/issues/376
