Summary

In this chapter, we briefly discussed the process to prepare and sign the release version of an APK. We also discussed the different app distribution channels that are available to developers for distributing the Android apps.

We have now completed the POIApp app that exercises many of the Xamarin.Android features you will need while developing a professional Android application. However, there are tons of great features in Android that remained undiscovered in this book, which include audio, video, face recognition, Bluetooth, NFC, and so on.

In the context of this starter guide, we simply do not have enough space to cover all features that are supported in Android. Make sure that you explore the http://developer.android.com/index.html and http://developer.xamarin.com/ to enhance your knowledge on the other interesting Android features.

I wish you good luck with the Xamain.Android development! Happy coding!
