Can't install to PCL via NUGET

Had no problem installing to iOS and Android projects from NUGET, but got error when adding to the PCL:
Could not install package 'BadgeView 2017.10.17'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets '.NETPortable,Version=v4.5,Profile=Profile78', but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.
That's because the PCL targets Profile 111 which is not compatible with profile 78 in some instances.
Dan Rigby has a great article on the compatibility of old PCL profiles https://www.danrigby.com/2014/05/14/supported-pcl-profiles-xamarin-for-visual-studio-2/
Basically 78 supports WP Silverlight 8 which 111 does not which is why they are not compatible.
