NullReferenceException Json.NET Xamarin.Android android 4.3

Question

I believe that I just encountered this error https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4902 on my Nexus 4, now I updated the version for Android 4.3.

Basically, when JSON.NET tries to get the time zone using mono execution, we get a zero reference exception, because there are problems with the variable environment in a certain android assembly.

The same code worked fine before I upgraded and still works fine on other Android devices. Are there any workarounds for this? Is there anything else I can do, or am I stuck? Has anyone else come across this recently?

Is a fix planned in the near future?

Answer 1

Xamarin 4.8.2 (alpha) fixes this problem. (As of September 3, 2013)
