Hello, This is likely because your assembly refers to types that does not exists in MonoTouch base class libraries. That would result in a TypeLoadException at runtime (and in this case the error message you see would be wrong).
As a general rule you need to re-compile assemblies to make them work with MonoTouch. Doing so will ensure the assembly will be usable (or at least loadable) at runtime. In the case of Newtonsoft.Json you'll find that it requires modification to build properly. You can find an already adapted version in [1] (note: make sure to use the latest code, not the existing binaries, to avoid issues outside the simulator).
