I have to use MessagePack to deserialize data returned from a web API (ASP.net), which was Serialized using the same package.
Used the following code
public async static Task<T> DeserializeAsync<T>(Stream stream)
{
if (stream == null)
{
throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(stream), "Stream value cannot be null");
}
stream.Position = 0;
T deserialized = await MessagePackSerializer.DeserializeAsync<T>(stream, MessagePack.Resolvers.ContractlessStandardResolver.Options).ConfigureAwait(false);
return deserialized;
}
All was working fine in Android in debug mode but in iOS both debug and release and in Android release mode. The deserialization code crashed with the following exceptions
Android -> Release

Found the section in the MessagePack git page specifying a way to overcome this issue using an Ahead of time code generator. I followed the steps but was not able to fix the issue. Also I'm sure I'm doing it right.
How do I use MessagePack in Xamarin.Forms. Can anyone who has already suggest me or provide a reference.
Update on steps followed
- Used message pack serialization in a button click.
- Installed mpc tool.
- Used don't mpc -i "{FormsProject.csproj path}" -o "{FormsProject directory path}"
- Added the created message pack generated class to the forms project.
- Used the following code in App.xaml.cs
Initializemethod
StaticCompositeResolver.Instance.Register(
MessagePack.Resolvers.GeneratedResolver.Instance,
MessagePack.Resolvers.StandardResolver.Instance
Now also the (Operation is not supported in the platform) Exception is thrown. I'm not quite getting what I'm doing wring here.
Update 2:
Exception in the MessagePackSerializerOptions
System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'MessagePackSerializerOptionsDefaultSettingsLazyInitializationHelper' threw an exception. ---> System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'MessagePack.Resolvers.StandardResolver' threw an exception. ---> System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'MessagePack.Internal.StandardResolverHelper' threw an exception. ---> System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'MessagePack.Resolvers.DynamicEnumResolver' threw an exception. ---> System.PlatformNotSupportedException: Operation is not supported on this platform.
