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?
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.
To start debugging an APK, click Profile or debug APK from the Android Studio Welcome screen. Or, if you already have a project open, click File > Profile or Debug APK from the menu bar.
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.
