The Microsoft Azure Mobile Services SDK is available as a Nuget package or you can download the source using the instructions above. The managed portable library also supports the full .NET 4.5 platform.

The SDK requires Visual Studio 2013.

###Building and Referencing the SDK

The managed portable library solution includes a core portable assembly and platform-specific assemblies for each of the supported platforms: Windows 8, Windows Phone 8 and .NET 4.5. The core portable platform project is Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Mobile. The platform-specific assembly projects are named using a Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Mobile.Ext.<Platform> convention. The Windows Phone 8 platform also include a Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Mobile.UI.<Platform> project that contain UI components. To build the Managed Portable Libray:
