What do I need to do to build it with Visual Studio 2017 ?

Windows Store/Phone apps: Projects for Windows Store 8.1 and 8.0, and Windows Phone 8.1 and 8.0 are not supported in Visual Studio 2017. To maintain these apps, continue to use Visual Studio 2015. To maintain Windows Phone 7.x projects, use Visual Studio 2012.

@dbaechtel this sample requires an update - those project types are no longer supported (as you have discovered from the error messages). An updated version will be pushed to GitHub shortly - thanks for reporting this issue.

Why did it take more than 15 months for this answer?

This repo was not being monitored as it should have been. We plan to do better in future.
