Hi,
I have an app published to the Play Store. Yesterday my laptop crashed and I had to reinstall Windows and Visual Studio. After I set everything up, I tried to publish an updated version of the app to the store. Upon reaching the "Register Google API Access" screen, I fill in the Client Id and Client Secret fields, then I hit Register. A Google authorization page loads in the browser, I give the required authorization and then I get back the standard success message ("Received verification code. You may now close this window"). However, after switching back to Visual Studio, I see this:
Looking at the Xamarin logs, I found this exception:
System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'Google.Apis.Json.NewtonsoftJsonSerializer' threw an exception. ---> System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. at Google.Apis.Json.NewtonsoftJsonSerializer..ctor() at Google.Apis.Json.NewtonsoftJsonSerializer..cctor() --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at Google.Apis.Json.NewtonsoftJsonSerializer.get_Instance() at Google.Apis.Auth.OAuth2.Requests.TokenRequestExtenstions.<ExecuteAsync>d__0.MoveNext()
So it seems like Xamarin is trying to use version 10.0.0.0 of Json.NET, which cannot be located. I have no idea about how to solve this. Where is the Json.NET dll that Xamarin is using located? Please help as I need to get this app update out ASAP.
Thanks in advance
