Metro style applications targets .NETCore framework if dependent solution is built on .NetFramework it can't be used in Metro style apps. For now you cannot rebuild your .NETFramework libraries on .NETCore because it has limited access(only for Windows Store apps).

What are you adding a reference to? Metro style apps can only add references to other Metro style class libraries or portable class libraries.
