Meteor build generate only debug apk (not release) for project with Crosswalk

I recently added Crosswalk (v.1.2.0) to my meteor project, but I can't found a way to generate a "release" apk which includes crosswalk. When running meteor build I got these files:

a) myapp-release-unsigned.apk <- Which works fine but doesn't include crosswalk

b) /build/outputs/apk/android-armv7-debug.apk <- Which works fine and include crosswalk but I can't upload it to Google Play because is a debug version.

Any advice how to generate an APK in release version with Crosswalk? So far I have found many solutions working for ionic (ionic run android --release) and cordova (cordova clean) but nothing related to meteor. Also I have signed and aligned succesfully the debug.apk but the file still in debug mode. Thanks in advance.

Since I'm referencing xwalk as a dependency of a dummy package:

/packages/crosswalk/package.js (Unique file inside self made crosswalk directory):

Package.describe({
   summary: "Makes your Cordova application use the Crosswalk WebView \
   instead of the System WebView on Android",
   version: '1.2.0'
});

 Cordova.depends({
   'cordova-plugin-crosswalk-webview': '1.8.0'
});

I found a weird workaround to generate a release APK including Xwalk, just add and delete the xwalk package to meteor:

meteor add cordova:[email protected]

meteor remove cordova:cordova-plugin-crosswalk-webview

Then run build again and you will have a release-unsigned.apk (21MB) with Xwalk.
