Azure MobileSeviceClient InvokeApiAsync - Newtonsoft.Json.JsonReaderException - json

Question

I'm trying to call a method on a custom api controller on my azure mobile services client.
If I hit the path in the browser it returns data just fine. When trying to call it from my app I get the following error
"Newtonsoft.Json.JsonReaderException: Error reading string. Unexpected token: StartObject. Path '', line 1, position 1."
public async Task<string> AuthUser (string email, string pass)
{
var id = await client.InvokeApiAsync<string>(
"Login/AuthUser",
System.Net.Http.HttpMethod.Get,
new Dictionary<string, string>() {
{"emailAddress", email },
{"password",pass }
}
);
if (id != null)
{
return id.ToString();
}
else
{
return "";
}
}
Here's the controller I'm calling
using System.Linq;
using System.Web.Http;
using System.Web.Http.Description;
using MyAppService.DataObjects;
using MyAppService.Models;
using Microsoft.Azure.Mobile.Server.Config;
namespace MyAppService.Controllers
{
[MobileAppController]
public class LoginController : ApiController
{
private MyAppContext db = new MyAppContext ();
[HttpGet]
[ActionName("AuthUser")]
public IHttpActionResult Login(string emailAddress, string password)
{
var login = db.Members.FirstOrDefault(m => m.Email == emailAddress && m.Password == password);
if (login != null)
{
return Ok(new {Id = login.Id });
}
else
{
return Unauthorized();
}
}
}
}
EDIT: The issue was the return type from the controller. Changed it to string and it worked.
