Testing your Xamarin app on Android device

I ' ve develop a test application in Xamarin Studio (Android with C #) and wanted to test it on my phone.

The application worked just fine in the Device emulator (same OS version) if I install/open it on my phone, it jus t says "TestApplication stopped working" I know from the online search that thousands of issues could cause this error MES Sage but my questions are:

is exporting my app on my droid as simple as:

• Compiling the App
• Taking the signed apk in the. Bin folder
• dragging. APK on the phone (I-M using airdroid to drag the file)
• Running apk (Installing the app)

Am I missing an obvious, magic step?

Answer:

I don ' t know how a Xamarin studio works, but that happened to me when trying the same, using Visual Studio.

I found out the application worked if building in Release mode.

Sure if Xamarin Studio has the same options (DEBUG/RELEASE/ETC)
