App is not asking for internet permission at installation

I have an Android app written by Xamarin, and it works perfectly fine when debugging.

But when I want to release it, my *.apk installer does not ask for INTERNET permission, therefore my app crashes whenever it requires connection, which is almost in every activity since it's an online app.

I have added the permission in my manifest file, but for some reason, the app only asks for Reading and Writing data from SD card permission and totally ignores internet permission.

Here is my manifest file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="ComicCity.ComicCity" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0" android:installLocation="preferExternal">
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="19" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.DELETE_CACHE_FILES" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<application android:label="ComicCity" android:icon="@drawable/CCicon"></application>
</manifest>

Internet is in the normal permissions list and thus you will not get prompted as it is auto-granted

If an app declares in its manifest that it needs a normal permission, the system automatically grants the app that permission at install time. The system does not prompt the user to grant normal permissions, and users cannot revoke these permissions.
