Question
Adding Dapper to Xamarin iOS project is giving me NuGet installation errors because it apparently misses some target assemblies.
Adding Dapper... Downloading Dapper 1.50.0... Installing 'Dapper 1.50.0'. Added file 'Dapper.dll' to folder 'Dapper.1.50.0/lib/net40'. Added file 'Dapper.xml' to folder 'Dapper.1.50.0/lib/net40'. Added file 'Dapper.dll' to folder 'Dapper.1.50.0/lib/net45'. Added file 'Dapper.xml' to folder 'Dapper.1.50.0/lib/net45'. Added file 'Dapper.dll' to folder 'Dapper.1.50.0/lib/net451'. Added file 'Dapper.xml' to folder 'Dapper.1.50.0/lib/net451'. Added file 'Dapper.dll' to folder 'Dapper.1.50.0/lib/netstandard1.3'. Added file 'Dapper.xml' to folder 'Dapper.1.50.0/lib/netstandard1.3'. Added file 'Dapper.1.50.0.nupkg' to folder 'Dapper.1.50.0'.
Successfully installed 'Dapper 1.50.0'.
Adding 'Dapper 1.50.0' to iOS. Could not install package 'Dapper 1.50.0'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets 'Xamarin.iOS,Version=v1.0', 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.
Did anyone found any workaround to add Dapper to Xamarin iOS Project?

I think you may be having a fundamental architecture misunderstanding. If you are to access anything other than a local database such as SQL Lite, that should be done over REST or something similar, reaching a web service endpoint. That service will then do the database access and possibly use Dapper.
In any event, the message is clear - there is no Dapper release compatible with iOS. You may try getting the source and create your own assemblies, but it may simply not be feasible.
