How can i enable debug in android project properties?? I have added in AssemblyInfo.cs the following code as mentioned somewhere.

#if DEBUG
[assembly: Application(Debuggable = true)]
#else
[assembly: Application(Debuggable=false)]
#endif

But nothing changes and no breakpoints are being hit.

Answer 1

I had to turn Optimize Code option OFF which I had turned ON by mistake I think. After that delete bin and obj folders and rebuilding did the work.

Answer 2

In my case -> build -> Configuration Manager -> change de relea

There are a few things you need to look at.

1) One way to double check that it is at the project level would be looking at the csproj file for the project using notepad++ or some other text editor and looking at the debugtype, debugger, debug symbols for the property group Debug|X

2) Make sure the setting inside the project properties that enable developer instrumentation is checked.. may be a little different in Xamarin Studio or an iOS project

3) If those simple properties are all set properly you may have a bigger issue related to mbd files not getting properly updated. Some people have had success clearing their debug folder and obj folders within the project so that the mbd files get rebuilt.
