Not quite sure what the issue is/was, but I changed my example to call a 
different web service and everything worked properly.

Thanks for the suggestions.  Unfortunately, no luck on trying these here.  
Results inline.  Any other suggestions are welcome.

Subject: [mono-android] webservices not working in release mode

I am preparing our app for release. The app talks against several sharepoint 
webservices. And it was behaving perfectly in debug mode, when I switched it to 
release mode it stopped working. 
To potentially spare other people the same frustrations I experienced. 

I want to share a small checklist1) on the build tab check "Generate 
serialization assembly" is set to off 
(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5792193/error-building-a-release-version-when-referencing-a-web-service)

- tried this, but all I got was a compile time error.


2) do you have the INTERNET permission (from this list 
http://mono-for-android.1047100.n5.nabble.com/WebServices-not-working-in-Release-Mode-Signed-apk-td4362833.html)

- Had this, so I was good here.


3) on the mono for android tab the linking setting if you have followed 
http://docs.xamarin.com/android/tutorials/Preparing_Package_for_Android_Marketplace,
 you probably have the setting linking set to "sdk and user assemblies" like i 
did. In my case that was not such a great idea, my webservice did not return to 
much results anymore. Try to set the linking to "sdk assemblies only". Perhaps 
the screenshot from the Xamarin site should be changed, after reading up it 
looks like linking also user assemblies seems more risky.

- Nothing different on this.  Tried all three possible values.


Looking back it looks like a small list but it kept me busy 6 hours ;), so i 
hope it will help somebody else...
