How do I make an existing C# library UWP-compatible?

I have a simple data structure published to NuGet that's semi-popular. It doesn't use any special Windows APIs, so I would expect it to be already compatible with UWP.

However, when people try to add a reference through NuGet, they see

<Project> is not compatible with UAP,Version=v10.0.
Some packages are not compatible with UAP,Version=v10.0.

What do I need to do to make my project compatible with UWP (while still keeping compatibility with non-UWP projects, including .Net 2.0 support)? I've read answers online ranging from "add this .json file" to "you need to maintain an entirely separate project"!

Several approaches right now,

  1. Write a PCL which enables UWP compatibility.
  2. Write a UWP class library which links to the common source files.
  3. Migrate the library to .NET Core.

I use the last for my open source library and the blog post covers the details,
