After the "Use shared runtime" application does not work, mono

Question

The size of my application is getting a little big, I'm trying to reduce the size using "use shared runtime", the application works fine without any errors. However, when I check the "Use shared runtime" checkbox, I can create an apk file, but it does not work on some devices that previously worked. Does anyone know why this is so? thanks

Please read this article carefully.

• A common runtime is used for debugging.
• APKs that rely on a common runtime expect the runtime to be installed separately, which does not match the deployment of such APKs on Android markets.
• Uncheck this box if you are creating a distribution APK.
