What PCL should I use to build a Xamarin mvvmcross app

I am new in mvvmcross and I want start to developing an app using this framework but I don't know which PCL should I use and how to mount my solution.

In some videos people uses C# -> windows -> PCL, and then add android, ios projects one by one, but all the videos are too old.

I want to know if there are a newer (better) way to create my solution to use mvvmcross and xamarin.

Beacuse in VSCommunity 2015 see there are a cross-platform option, should I use this?

One more question, how can I fix the .Core, in the solution name? And the others .Ios, .Droid? If I create my project with name.Core all others projects become: name.Core.Ios, name.Core.Droid

It will make me in trouble when i have to use the namespace ?

The options?:

Using cross-platform

Using the old windows -> pcl like in videos

Have you had a look at the mvvmcross addin for Visual studio by JimBobBennett.

tools > Extensions and Updates > click Online > search for "Mvvmcross for visual studio"

then create a new project like so : enter image description here

It will give a template that will create a solution with this structure: enter image description here

Then just delete the projects you dont need.

Here is a link to the source code for that plugin if you want to take a look
