UIKit.UIKitThreadAccessException: UIKit Consistenc

I'm trying to run this code:

GetRepsButton.Command = new Command(async () =>
            {
                var url = @"https://url";

                HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
                client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));

                //crashes here
                var test = await client.GetStringAsync(url);
            });

And when I do, the entire app crashes and the output window shows this error:

ROR: +[MSWrapperLogger MSWrapperLog:tag:level:]/7 Unhandled Exception:

Although I dont think I should have to since i'm not doing anything with the UI, I have tried InvokeOnMainThread which does not work. I've also tried changing to .Result instead of await, and I've tried GetAsync and reading the content, along with using WebClient instead of HttpClient. All cause this same error.

Any ideas? I'm using Xamarin forms 4 pre 7.
