Necroman,

By not being able to use async targeting only WinRT + 4.5, do you have a repro? This is supported and should work.

We're considering adding support for async for other platforms, however, we have nothing to announce at this time.

Thanks

Can we expect async/await support in Portable Libraries? Currently it's not possible to use it there even for Portable Library targeting only WinRT and .NET 4.5.

And also do you plan to add WP7.1 and Silverlight 4 support to AsyncTargetingPack once WP SDK for VS2012 is released? Original AsyncCTP supported these paltforms and I have several WP7 apps with async features from AsyncCTP. Thanks :)

Thanks for posting this. It is useful to have a link to somewhere that says succinctly that the problem is and where it will be fixed so we can resolve it in the future and have a place to point people as we go through the certification process.

@Jasper thanks for getting in touch. We haven't observed this behaviour in testing - it would be great to know the version of VS you are using, as well as the platforms that projects 'A' and 'B' are targeting (SL, Phone etc) so that we can investigate. Thanks again!

There's another bug in PortableLibrary projects. Let's say I build a project 'A' as portable library and compiled it as DLL. Then another PortableLibrary project 'B' reference an .dll (project 'A') could not be build with error that both of those project reference the same mscorlib.dll
