Can not find runtime target for framework .NETCoreApp=v1 compatible with one of the target runtimes

Question

I am trying to migrate an Asp.Net Core RC1 project to RC2 and have been following this documentation and have also followed the instructions for DNX migration to .NET CLI.

I found you need the following in project.json. Here is what was required to fix my error:

Dependencies

"dependencies": {
   "Microsoft.NETCore.App": {
      "version": "1.0.1",
      "type": "platform"
   },
}

Frameworks

"frameworks": {
    "netcoreapp1.0": {
      "imports": [
        "dotnet5.6",
        "portable-net45+win8"
      ]
    }
  },

Runtime

  "runtimeOptions": {
    "configProperties": {
      "System.GC.Server": true
    }
  },

You might want to add runtimes if you plan on publishing to IIS. Please see something as follows:

 "runtimes": {
    "win10-x64": {}
  },

Here is a general tip that has worked well for me. When my stuff breaks, I sometimes create a default ASP.NET Core application either the website or empty web api to look at the dependencies in project.json and elsewhere. You can often catch a lot of things that way. The answers above are spot on, but I thought I would write this here in case someone wanted to separate the logic out more in the general template format that ASP.NET Core uses.
