You could perhaps using the portable version instead? I'd be interested whether 
that works - but: importantly, the portable version is compiled without the 
FormatterServices bits.

Hi marc.gravell,
I try to use the CoreOnly/portable/protobuf-net.dll in project, It reports

Unity 4.3.4f1 can't work well also. Is there any solution?

If you are targeting phone 8, I strongly suggest using the phone 8 build. 
However, if you remove the PLAT_BINARYFORMATTER build symbol, it won't attempt 
to use it. In particular, the symbols in play here are as shown:

#if PLAT_BINARYFORMATTER && !(WINRT || PHONE8)
            return System.Runtime.Serialization.FormatterServices.GetUninitializedObject(type);
#else
            throw new NotSupportedException("Constructor-skipping is not supported on this platform");
#endif

This is happening to me on one computer, but not on another, which is weird 
since they're the exact same dll. Maybe the unity metro build process is 
hitting the GAC or something.

Upgrading to the latest unity seems to have fixed the problem.

Here is the error that I was getting.

I had the same errors -- looks like Unity tries to import a different .dll for 
the WP8 build (one located in Assets/Plugins/WP8).  I used the 
CoreOnly/Unity/protobuf-net.dll in my Assets/Plugins folder, and then created a 
new Assets/Plugins/WP8 folder, and added the CoreOnly/wp8/protobuf-net.dll 
there.  Now it builds fine.
