title: Can a UWP app act as a SignalR server?
body: <p>I saw a code sample that makes a WPF app a SignalR server: <a href="https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Using-SignalR-in-WinForms-f1ec847b" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Using-SignalR-in-WinForms-f1ec847b</a> </p>
  
  <p>Can I make my UWP app a SignalR server? So that other clients can connect to someone running a UWP app on their device?</p>
  
  <p>I tried installing the SignalR NuGet on to my UWP app, but I got an error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Install-Package : Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR.Core 2.2.1 is not compatible with UAP,Version=v10.0.
  
  
  At line:1 char:1
  + Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR.SelfHost
  + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Install-Package], Exception
      + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NuGetCmdletUnhandledException,NuGet.PackageManagement.PowerShellCmdlets.InstallPackageCommand
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am also thinking about running a SignalR server as a service and then connecting the UWP app to it and connecting other clients to the service. Will that work?</p>
