Package Microsoft.Azure.NotificationHubs 1.0.9 is not compatible with uap10.0.10240 (UAP,Version=v10.0.10240) / win10-x86-aot. Package Microsoft.Azure.NotificationHubs 1.0.9 supports: net45 (.NETFramework,Version=v4.5)

Answer 1

As of July 2016 Notification Hubs SDK is not available for UWP. The product team is aware of it and working on providing it.

At the moment, there are one way to workaround it:

• Use WindowsAzure.Messaging.Managed Nuget package as described in Getting started with Notification Hubs for Windows Universal Platform Apps

Certain Hubs SDKs are open sourced. But, unfortunately, not Windows ones at the moment.
