Answer 1

I have a Windows 7 Phone app which had the same issue that you have. My solution was to create a separate "linked" project which compiles the code using the standard .net libraries. The linked project will have no issues with unit test / NUnit.

I've ported the app to Windows 8 and have no problems running my test cases.

Answer 2

I've just hit the same error message while creating unit tests for an Universal App (W81 + WP81). The only solution here was to stop using NUnit and use MSTest only.
