I'm having difficulty Serializing and Deserializing an XML. Getting path is denied problems.

I'm not completely sure how to solve this issue as I'm new to xamarin things are a bit more straight forward when dealing with Native code and apps etc. Anyways I have this piece of code I"m using.

SharpSerializer serializer = new SharpSerializer(); serializer.Serialize(myProfile, "test.xml");

        var mySecondprofile = serializer.Deserialize("test.xml");

I set everything above so the object isn't empty. But ever single time I run it I get access to path denied when doing the serialization. I"m using SharSerializer that I found. Obviously I'm not accessing the file system correctly I went into the android manifest and clicked on all the permissions I could find to see if that was the issue but no dice. So... How do I do access the file system then?
