I am using MonoDroid with VisualStudio 2010. When compiling in Release mode, the APK file is not generated (should be in BIN folder alongside compilation outputs).

It used to work like a charm. I am not able to point out what changed in my project configuration, monodroid installation or whatever.

I just have 3 warnings saying:

Found conflicts between different versions of the same dependent assembly.  BCom.MAF.ViewModel

And one:

Assembly generation -- The version '1.0.0.*' specified for the 'file version' is not in the normal 'major.minor.build.revision' format  BCom.MAF.UI.Android

Could this be a (surprising) problem?

Thanks in advance for your help.

    This my mistake: the APK file is only generated during a Publish/Start. Since I was only doing Build or Rebuild and not Start, even in Release mode, the APK is not generated.

    In this Xamarin Monodroid Documentation, the step 2 says to “test in release mode”, to ensure all linking went right. It sounds a bit optionnal. Actually, it is mandatory to Start the app in Release mode to get the APK file.

    This behavior can be changed by working a bit in the MSBuild tasks of the project.

    Edit: There is a new “Deploy” Contextual Menu Entry now. All made easier 🙂
