Parse SDK for Windows Phone 8.1

Question

I’m creating a Windows Phone 8.1 project using Visual Studio Community 2012. This app should integrate with the backend provided by Parse. Well, I tried to follow this tutorial, but I noticed that Nuget does not install the package... Below follows the output of Nuget:

Installing 'parse 1.3.2'.
Successfully installed 'parse 1.3.2'.
Adding 'parse 1.3.2' to youback.
Uninstalling 'parse 1.3.2'.
Successfully uninstalled 'parse 1.3.2'.
Install failed. Rolling back...
Install-Package : Could not install package 'parse 1.3.2'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets 'WindowsPhoneApp,Version=v8.1', 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.

    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Install-Package], InvalidOperationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NuGetCmdletUnhandledException,NuGet.PowerShell.Commands.InstallPackageCommand

Parse is a very important requirement for my application, so I have no other alternative.

Has anyone by any chance had this kind of problem? How did you solve?

Unfortunately at the moment Parse is not supported by windows phone 8.1.

To work with the platform we must use windows phone sdk 8. On parse’s website there is a project Quickstart that can be used to facilitate the service. This project works well in visual studio 2012 comunnity.
