I believe I'm a bit late here, but it seems time changed things.

What I had to do (and I can't seem to understand why it's not more intuitive than that) is to:

  1. Right click on Solution
  2. Archive
  3. Follow the Wizard steps

I don't know how Xamarin Studio works, but this happened to me when trying the same, using Visual Studio.

I found out the application worked only when building in Release mode.

Not sure if Xamarin Studio has the same options (Debug / Release / etc)
