Xamarin android deployment using Visual Studio

I am using visual studio community edition and i am try to deploy an application by following the tutorial

https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/android/deployment,_testing,_and_metrics/publishing_an_application/part_2_-_signing_the_android_application_package/

When it comes to second step "Archive" option is missing in my visual studio . Should we enable this option from some settings or its going to be there by default?

Also from https://www.xamarin.com/compare-visual-studio i can see that Visual Studio Community Edition can be used for deploy the apps to private and public stores

So how can i do Archive option using VS 2015 Community edition

You are on an old version of Xamarin and thus the Archive options are different. You can view them here:

https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/android/deployment,testing,_and‌​metrics/publishing‌​an_application/part_‌​2-_signing_the_andro‌​id_application_packa‌​ge/visual-studio-xa-‌​4.2.6-to-6.1/

However I would recommend that you update your Xamarin for Visual Studio tooling via (Tools -> Options -> Xamarin -> Other) to the latest stable and follow the guide you linked above(https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/android/deployment,_testing,_and_metrics/publishing_an_application/part_2_-_signing_the_android_application_package/)
