SignalR .Net Client fails with 500 server error on

Question

I'm trying to implement a chat in my app, with azure asp.net web api on back-end and xamarin ios on front-end.

So on back-end I configure my hub with this lines:

        var hubConfiguration = new HubConfiguration();
        hubConfiguration.EnableDetailedErrors = true;
        app.MapSignalR("/signalr", hubConfiguration);

and here is my hub source:

[HubName("Chat")]
public class Chat : Hub
{

    public Task JoinRoom(string roomName)
    {
        return Groups.Add(Context.ConnectionId, roomName);
    }

    public Task LeaveRoom(string roomName)
    {
        return Groups.Remove(Context.ConnectionId, roomName);
    }

    public Task Send(string message, string room)
    {
        return Clients.OthersInGroup(room).addMessage(message);
    }
}

on xamarin ios client everything is pretty simple too:

[Preserve(AllMembers=true)]
public class Msg
{
    public string txt { get; set; }
}

public class Client
{
    private readonly string _userName;
    private readonly HubConnection _connection;
    private readonly IHubProxy _proxy;

    public event EventHandler<string> OnMessageReceived;

    public Client(string userName)
    {
        _userName = userName;
        _connection = new HubConnection("http://mywebsite.azurewebsites.net/");
        _connection.ConnectionToken = NetManager.Instance.token.access_token;
        _proxy = _connection.CreateHubProxy("Chat");
    }

    public async Task Connect()
    {

        await _connection.Start();

        _proxy.On("messageReceived", (Msg platform, Msg message) =>
            {
                if (OnMessageReceived != null)
                    OnMessageReceived(this, string.Format("{0}: {1}", platform, message));
            });

        Send("Connected");
    }

    public Task Send(string message)
    {
        return _proxy.Invoke("Send", _userName, message);
    }
}

So if I connect to server from ios simulator -- it works fine, but when I try to do this from my ipad device -- it crashes with internal server error on line ('await _connection.Start();')

I have already checked server with debugger, but no exceptions raised there, and logs are clear.

Any ideas how to fix this will be very helpful!

[Upd] Some new server logs:

So somehow, don't know why from device sends empty group name (1) :[%7B%22Name%22:%22chat%22%7D] (2) :[%7B%7D]

Seems like json serializer problem, but how can I fix that?

Answer 1

finally got it, it was because of 'link all' option in device build options, so json didn't work well
