Thanks for reporting this. This is really strange.

The error says zh-CHS can't be used as a culture identifier, and CultureInfo constructor is throwing on that code while there are passing unit tests in the solution that are instantiating CultureInfo for zh-CHS!!

Is that the locale you're using? Would you be able to send a failing test for this issue?

zh-CHS and zh-CHT are legacy and it throws exception when you run on Windows phone. You must be running test on the PC. It passes on the PC but fails on the phone.

Specific cultures should be use instead of legacy ones.

I fixed that in #374 and it's now been released to NuGet. Please check if it's fixed now.

It works fine now. Thanks.

Thanks for reporting and for the link to right culture codes.
