Here's how I got Mobile Services v1.3.2 working in new Xamarin.Forms PCL project:

1. Install 'Mobile Services’ into shared project ‘Packages’ folder as well as .iOS & .Droid ‘Packages' folders.
2. Delete duplicate references in .iOS / .Droid folders: “System.Runtime”, “System.IO”, “System.Threading.Tasks"
3. Remember to add CurrentPlatform.Init(); to ‘AppDelegate.cs' in .iOS project and to ‘MainActivity.cs' in .Droid project.

Paul Batum has done a good sample Xamarin PCL app showing syncing between iOS and Android app: https://github.com/paulbatum/fieldengineerlite
