XML Serializer IsNotAssignableFrom only on Windows Phone

Hey guys,

This one has me stuck. I have a method on a PCL that deserializes xml into a complex object. It works fine on iOS and Android, but I get System.InvalidOperationException: IsNotAssignableFrom when the same method is called on the Windows Phone.

I'm ignoring properties not related to the xml, and all classes have default constructors.

var deserializer = new XmlSerializer (typeof(Information)); causes the exception.

Has anyone ran into a similar issues and resolved it?

Thanks

The full exception is:
