Compile it in Release Mode.

Then look under ProjectName/Object/ - you will see {name}.apk

Transfer this .apk to your new device and click on it there - it will install if you have set your phone to accept unknown sources in the setup. Follow these instructions to put it in that mode: https://www.applivery.com/docs/troubleshooting/android-unknown-sources

Enjoy !!

Compile your app IN RELEASE MODE!
The apk you see its a debug apk. This apk can only run started from the IDE.

I copy the apk file on my phone where exactly?

It doesn´t matter. Open the file on the device using a Filemanager and install the app when asked...

Hi DonManfred, I don't know what is IN RELEASE MODE!
Please, explain me

Watch the tutorials. It is all described there... I think it is in the Debugging Video.

Change the Dropdown in the mainwindow from Debug to Release and compile again.

Hi, DonManfred, I've done it
But this apk it's the same that I can use on Play Store?

 

[DonManfred]

You can upload the Release APK to Playstore, yes.
Make sure to use your own Sign-Key.

 

[Giusy]

Yes, I have seen this option. After fill the form of the sign key, how I connect the key whit the apk?

 

[DonManfred]

I strongly suggest to watch all the Videos.

I´m not interested to spent more time on this noob questions. My free time is rare.
