Introduction
Android applications are distributed in many ways after deployment, like website links, e-mail attachments, and app stores. The website link and e-mail attachments are used to share the application in the internal environment. The app store provides various services to distribute the application, such as giving the review access to the user to check that apps are not malicious in nature and the application is reached to the millions of customers anywhere and anytime. It promotes the application and allows for consumer ratings and handles financial settlements for purchases.

It is used only for the development process and it must be disabled in the deployed application and there are two ways to disable the debug as a setting in AndroidManifest.xml and Setting in assemblyInfo.cs.
