So I'm trying to upload my APK to the Google Play Store, but then I'm getting this "You uploaded an APK that was signed in debug mode. You need to sign your APK in release mode." even tho I have set my app to release mode in every place that I could find in visual studio. I don't know what I'm doing wrong... Any help? Here's what my vs project settings look like.

You need to make sure it is signed correctly with the method that Xamarin has provided you.

Please refer back to the docs and guides of Xamarin.

Here is the link to signing the APK using Xamarin.

    Thanks for your help! That article made me realize that I was selecting the wrong setting. What I was doing was exporting the APK from the setting ***Build>Export Android Package***, instead of ***Tools>Android>Publish Android App***. – Claudio Tejada Jul 19 '16 at 15:15
  • No worries! You should go through the Developer documents/guids in Xamarin Developer website if you haven't already. They're really useful. :) – Imdad Jul 19 '16 at 16:08
