Hi, Even though 2.8.4.2 fixes the issue, there might be another problem with your package, since Fast Deployment should never be active in release mode (and therefore you should never have hit that issue).
Look inside (unzip) your release package and make sure all assemblies are included in it. If they're missing, open your .csproj file in an editor and check if anywhere there's a project property named EmbedAssembliesIntoApk (Normally this key should only be present in the debug configuration, and only if you changed the Fast Deployment option manually on the IDE) Let me know what you find andreia gaita Sent from my iPad On Dec 7, 2011, at 9:30, Steven Pack <steven_john_p...@yahoo.com.au> wrote: > Back in business.
