Installing facebook c# sdk

Question

I couldn't find any other questions on this...so I must be doing something wrong. I have never used NuGet before, so my problem could very well be there.

Anyways, I am making a WP8 app in VS2012. I went Project > Manage NuGet Packages > Online > Facebook. It is version 6.4.0. When I hit install, I get the following error:

Could not install package 'Facebook 6.4.0'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets 'WindowsPhone,Version=v8.0', but the package does not contain any assembly references that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.

Any idea how to resolve this?

Answer 1

I had the same problem, for me updating Nuget package installer worked. Initial version was 2.0 and it got upgraded to 2.5. Go to Tools=> Extensions and Updates => Updates => Visual Studio Gallery. There you can see update available for Nuget installer. After updating Nuget try installing facebook and facebook client packages.Hope this works....

Answer 2

The error you're seeing means that the package you tried to install for Nuget is incompatible with WP7/8 projects. Look at this Nokia article that explains how to use a modified version of the Facebook Graph API in a WP7/8 project.

Answer 3

I also faced this issue but, the previous version works fine. go to tools => library package manager=>package manager console and type Install-Package Facebook -Version 5.3.2.0 and press enter.

Hope this will help :)
