反序列化对象时，无法将类型为System.String的对象转换为类型为System.Byte []

Question

I have a class in C# that maps InspectionDetails sent from a mobile app (a JSON object) to a Web API service. I recently added a property to the class to handle sending images from the mobile app. But when deserializing the JSON I get the error

Cannot convert object of type System.String to type System.Byte[]

My class in C# looks like this.

public class InspectionDetails
{
    public int UserId { get; set; }
    public List<byte[]> Images { get; set; }
}

I then attempt to deserialize the JSON as follows.

result = new JavaScriptSerializer().Deserialize<T>(jsonObject); // throws error

An example of the JSON is as follows:

{"UserId":1001872,"Images":["fFCVKyfUYq72+N0M3IzaihLH0/rMDSwdbPHTXpwkQTw+Fp1NlYKvyyp0e+yIxoOOVe24Ous2ESsAfD4kIeN=="]}

How do I deserialize a byte array in JSON? I need to deserializethe JSON to get to the images.

This seems to work with JSON.NET 8.0.2

    var jsonSettings = new JsonSerializerSettings
    {
        TypeNameHandling = TypeNameHandling.Objects,
        TypeNameAssemblyFormat = FormatterAssemblyStyle.Simple
    };
    var result = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T>(jsonObject, jsonSettings);
