I know the difference between debug and release mode BUILD. But I have a small doubt, does it make any difference on what mode I select while publishing the application thru Visual studio?

By default, Debug includes debug information in the compiled files (allowing easy debugging) while Release usually has optimizations enabled. As far as conditional compilation goes, they each define different symbols that can be checked in your program, but they are language-specific macros.
Major differences are the debug apk and the release apk: For debug builds the apk will be signed with the default debug signing keys with debug flag enabled. For release apk you will have to explicitly specify the apk to sign with and the debug flag will be turned off so that it cannot be debugged.
Lots of your code could be completely removed or rewritten in Release mode. The resulting executable will most likely not match up with your written code. Because of this release mode will run faster than debug mode due to the optimizations.
The debug folder usually contains your program compiled for debugging, that is there is additional information included, such as variable names, that help you find errors in the program. The release folder contains your program without any of that.
If you publish using Debug mode, your generated files have debugging enabled and that will impact the performance.
It is always recommended that you publish website in Release Mode
