When I compile my code in C# using Xamarin (mono for android), I see the following 5 files created in the bin/ directory.

  1. SolutionName.SolutionName.apk
  2. SolutionName.SolutionName-Signed.apk
  3. SolutionName.dll (Application extension)
  4. SolutionName.dll.mdb (Microsoft Access Database)
  5. SolutionName.pdb (Program Debug Database)

Could someone explain what these files mean and whether if it is possible to deploy my application manually (Without using Xamarin) using these files?

    1. SolutionName.SolutionName.apk is the unsigned Android package
    2. SolutionName.SolutionName-Signed.apk is the signed Android package
    3. SolutionName.dll is just the dynamic library
    4. SolutionName.dll.mdb is the Mono debugging symbols (not Microsoft Access Database)
    5. SolutionName.pdb is the .NET debugging symbols
