I am using Visual Studio Community, built an android app and generated the debug version (can't build the release version, always fails, don't know why). Once it is created I have these files:

App1.App1.apk App1.App1-Signed.apk App1.dll App1.dll.mdb App1.pdb

How can I copy those files to an Android phone to test it ? thanks


Antonio Como yo veo, tienes dos instaladores que son los que terminan en APK
uno normal y otro firmado.

Para instalarlos yo utilizo el ADB de android

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

adb install App1.App1.apk
 

El ADB es parte del sdk de android

hack: Antonio, otra forma es: mándatelos por correo electronico y al descargarse se instalan solos. Si ya sé que hay que buscar otra forma... pero al principio conviene ir avanzando
