I'm setting up a new WCF service on a new server I got, but when I try to access the service through a xamarin application I get the following error
"Error in deserializing body of request message for operation 'GetString'. OperationFormatter encountered an invalid Message body. Expected to find node type 'Element' with name 'GetString' and namespace 'http://tempuri.org/'. Found node type 'Element' with name 'GetStringAsync' and namespace 'http://tempuri.org/'"
I have used the method of creating a proxy (with a class library and connected service) for creating the client to be used in my xamarin application. I have used this exact method before without any problems, but now I can't seem to get this to work.
I have tried googling this, but the only similar errors I could find were where the methods name were the same, but the namespace as mentioned above was different which does not apply in my specific error. I have recreated the project, and redeployed a few times without any success.

The only thing that I can possibly think of, is that my IIS may not be set up correctly, since this is the first time I have had to set up IIS by myself. The server is a VPS running Windows Server 2016. I may very well be wrong about the cause, and it may be something I have missed in the config of the service itself, or the proxy client I created.
Any ideas that might be able to help?
