ServiceStack.Text System.TypeInitializationException using JsonSerializer.DeserializeFromString

I'm porting a Xamarin.IOS project to the Unified version of it and I'm facing an issue using the ServiceStack.Text package. I've added it to the project using NuGet.

So I made a new empty project on Xamarin to test it and the problem remains the same, so, here is the test project code:

using UIKit;
using ServiceStack.Text;
using System;

namespace ServiceStackTester
{
    public class Test {
        public string Field1 { get; set;}
        public string Field2 { get; set;}
    }

    public class Application
    {
        // This is the main entry point of the application.
        static void Main (string[] args)
        {
            Test t = JsonSerializer.DeserializeFromString<Test>("{Field1:\"A\",Field2:\"B\"}");
            Console.WriteLine (t.Field1);

            // if you want to use a different Application Delegate class from "AppDelegate"
            // you can specify it here.
            UIApplication.Main (args, null, "AppDelegate");
        }
    }
}

JsonSerializer.DeserializeFromString causes this error:

    System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by the type initializer for ServiceStack.Text.Json.JsonReader`1

Is it a licensing problem or I miss something? Thanks, Daniele

I think your missing the double quotes around the name of your fields.

"{\"Field1\":\"A\",\"Field2\":\"B\"}"

Would do the trick.
