Every single failure is PlatformNotSupportedException Operation is not supported on this platform.

[mdh1418]

Reran the tests on iOS and ignored PlatformNotSupportedExceptions this time. Updated this issue again, but the failures are System.ArgumentNullException : Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'type') which don't seem iOS specific.

MethodInfo readDbMethod = typeof(Console).GetTypeInfo().Assembly.GetType(TerminfoDatabaseType).GetTypeInfo().GetDeclaredMethods(ReadDatabaseMethod).Where(m => m.GetParameters().Count() == 1).Single();

I guess GetType failed on System.TermInfo+Database

I am moving this to 7.0

@mdh1418 is this still actually an issue?
