Universal Windows Project, VS17, Cannot Install Microsoft.Azure.Devices.Client IOT SDK

Question

I'm getting the following failure report when attempting to install version 1.31.2 in VS17 using Nuget.

Error NU1202 Package Microsoft.Azure.Devices.Client 1.31.2 is not compatible with uap10.0.15063 (UAP,Version=v10.0.15063) / win10-arm [and other Windows 10 versions]. Package Microsoft.Azure.Devices.Client 1.31.2 supports:

• net451 (.NETFramework,Version=v4.5.1)
• net472 (.NETFramework,Version=v4.7.2)
• netstandard2.0 (.NETStandard,Version=v2.0)
• netstandard2.1 (.NETStandard,Version=v2.1)

Any advice on how to resolve this would be appreciated. Do I need to use and earlier version?

You will need to meet the OS and hardware compatibility as described to install and use Microsoft.Azure.Devices.Client :
