Android Question release mode?

[Pelky]

Okay I know what release mode is but cannot find anywhere how to "compile in release mode" in order to get an "apk".
also I did the key signing as instructed and then made a copy to save in a secure place. Thank God I did because as soon as I did my next compile I go an error message that this file was missing. I pasted it back and again it dissappeared. The next time I made it "read only" and the complies went thru...
I have obviously messed up my installation - is there something I can do?

Hi Pelky,

You can compile in debug, release and release (obfuscated), you can choose the mode on top menu in the IDE.

About the key, you can save it whatever you want, just make sure to load it in the private sigh key window

Best regards
Manuel

much appreciated..... just out of interest why did the key file keep getting deleted and causing a compilaton error until I made it read only

Have you saved it in the Objects folder? If so then move it to a different folder.
