How to use netstandard libs in xamarin iOS?

Every time I add a reference to netstandard only library I get following error. Libs that specifically target xamarinios10 works just fine.

error CS0012: The type System.Object' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. Consider adding a reference to assemblySystem.Runtime, Version=4.0.20.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'

For example adding AutoMapper library to fresh "iOS Library" project does not work. It also does not work for any of my own NuGet packages targeting netstandard.

To make .NET Standard package work with Xamarin iOS you need to manually add reference to System.Runtime to your *.csproj file. This reference is highlighted in Xamarin Studio as invalid but project compiles and works on device and in simulator. For example to make simplest possible app work I end up having this in my csproj

<ItemGroup>
  <Reference Include="System" />
  <Reference Include="System.Xml" />
  <Reference Include="System.Core" />
  <Reference Include="Xamarin.iOS" />
  <Reference Include="System.Runtime" />
</ItemGroup>

Note System.Runtime references at the bottom.
