MvvmCross not using shared runtime for mono

Question

This is a xamarin android application using MvvmCross. As soon as I uncheck "Use Shared Runtime" for my Release build, I get an error when trying to run the application. I think MvvmCross is missing something in it's container, but not sure how to find out what. Here is the error:
