I am experimenting with ServiceStack‘s JSON engine. I grabbed the MonoTouch binary build, v2.20. Works fine from simulator, but from the iOS device (iPad2, iOS5) I get an exception thrown by the type initializer for JsonWriter (and not much other than that). I am using MonoTouch 5, MonoDevelop 2.8.1, and targeting iOS 5. I have disabled library linking because I am getting an error when enabled.

I created a sample and uploaded to https://github.com/t9mike/ServiceStack-JSON1.

I’m trying to determine whether the issue is my compilation options, Service Stack, or MonoTouch. Thanks in advance.

    I ended up grabbing the ServiceStack.Text sources from GitHub, version 3.0.3. I created a new MonoTouch library project. I had to tweak ServiceStack.Text/JsConfig.cs slightly to conditionalize away the System.Drawing.Color bits. I’ll send a patch and MT csproj to the authors.

    After using this new assembly, my sample MT app ran fine on the device. I have updated my sample at https://github.com/t9mike/ServiceStack-JSON1 with the new ServiceStack.Text dll.
