System.TypeInitializationException - ZeroFormatterEqualityComparer on Android

[philipogorman]

I get the error below when deserializing on android . The code is in a net standard 2 library, the file deserilaizes fine in a net core unit test runner.

The data type is: Dictionary<int, Dictionary<string, Dictionary<string, SimpleObject>>>

Unhandled Exception:

System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'ZeroFormatter.Comparers.ZeroFormatterEqualityComparer`1' threw an exception. occurred

Any ideas what could be wrong?
