Use Fast Deployment (debug mode only)

I am building a Xamarin (Android) app in Visual Studio 2017. When building in Release mode,

I would like to keep it checked since the app size is significantly less. But does Visual Studio emphasizes that its for debug mode only? Since there is surely something going on in release mode.

With Fast Deployment checked you're not aggregating the assemblies of the app in the package, that instead are copied to their final destination with adb push meaning that can work only in Debug.
For options to reduce/optimize the size of your app in Release mode you can check out this article.
This speeds up the build/deployment process because if only the assemblies are modified the package is not reinstalled but only synchronized in your device.
