App closing on start when trying to debug

Issue

When I'm trying to start debugging an android app with Visual Studio 2012, the app will be loaded onto the emulator and tries to start. After a second of black screen I'm back at the home screen.

Releasing and running the app, however, runs flawlessly.

When trying to debug with Xamarin Studio, it works. But I want it to work with VS 2012. Anyone any idea what's going wrong?

If I need to add extra info, please tell me.

Solution

I've had the same problem a while back when trying to debug my app in Visual Studio 2012.

To solve it you need to do the following:

• Go to you app settings/properties
• Click mono android options
• Uncheck the option: use fast deployment

I don't know why this solves the problem but it does. Hope this works for you too!
