I am running Xamarin Studio 4.0.10 and Xamarin Android 4.8.0.
I added the Parse component into my existing app this weekend. It all works fine in debug mode on my phone. However, when I run it in release mode on my phone, the app opens and then shuts down immediately. My release build uses a link behavior of Link SDK Assemblies Only. When I change the link behavior to Don't Link, then the app works fine in release mode. I tried a link behavior of Link SDK Assemblies Only and ignoring assemblies parse.android and newtonsoft.json and the app still shutdowns immediately. Does anyone have any ideas how to resolve this?
