Answer 1

This is a known issue when referencing portable libraries and using Edit & Continue. We are looking to fix this in a future version of Visual Studio.

A workaround for now:

1. Right-click on the project with the issue in Solution Explorer and choose Unload
2. Right-click on the unloaded project and choose Edit
3. Within the body of the first <PropertyGroup> element, add the following: <_ResolveReferenceDependencies>true</_ResolveReferenceDependencies>
4. Reload the project saving changes

This should fix the build issue.

Note: Depending on the project, this might have a performance hit, not only during Edit & Continue usage, but just general usage within VS.

Answer 2

In my case, the only solution that worked was to remove the workspace and map&get again.

To remove the workspace, Source control → Advanced → Workspace → Remove.
