I have a local service made with ServiceStack and I want to call a method from my Xamarin.Forms application:

```
  ServiceStack.JsonServiceClient sc;
  sc = new ServiceStack.JsonServiceClient("http://api.sportsstars.local/");

```

When the debugger reaches the second line, it throws this exception:

> 
> System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by the
>  type initializer for ServiceStack.ServiceClientBase
> 
> 
> 

Any ideas what could it be?
