Can't upload my apk file to google play

[LeeH]

Hi

I'm trying to upload an apk file for the first time to Google Play, but when I do I get this error:

Upload failed 
You uploaded a debuggable APK. For security reasons you need to disable  debugging before it can be published in Google Play. 

What's all this about???

It was compiled in release mode so I don't know what they mean. Maybe I need to do something in the .pro file? Also I can't see anything about 'disable debugging' in the manifest file either.

Have you signed the package? See this guide.

Hi, thanks for quick response. I am going through the guide.

set the build to release mode ( if you haven't already) and sign the apk.

Yep that did it. I didn't sign the package. Won't do that again in a hurry. Thank you guys
