I've had problems with this too. To meet Johnbot's answer which is correct I am adding how I have used this library and got it to work. I did not really understand the NuGet packages, so I did it manually.

1. Download the project https://github.com/oysteinkrog/SQLite.Net-PCL

2. Load the solution in VS2015, set to release mode and create the dlls for:

a) SQLite.Net

b) SQLite.Net.Async

c) SQLite.Net.Platform.WinRT which is for Windows 10 universal apps, or the platform you need.

Ensure you have these references in your project.

SQLIte for Universal App is installed from VS Tools / Extensions and Updates. Once installed it is referenced under Universal Windows / Extensions along with the Visual C++ 2015 which is also required.

Good luck!

You just need to create a function that returns a SQLiteConnectionWithLock and pass that to the SQLiteAsyncConnection constructor.

string databasePath = "path";
var connectionFactory = new Func<SQLiteConnectionWithLock>(()=>new SQLiteConnectionWithLock(new SQLitePlatformWinRT(), new SQLiteConnectionString(databasePath, storeDateTimeAsTicks: false)));
var asyncConnection = new SQLiteAsyncConnection(connectionFactory);
