I'm following this guide http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/article/creating-and-distributing-android-app-using-visual-studio-2017/ to generate the APK file for my app, however when I'm archiving the project it gives me the following error:

Mono Shared runtime is enabled for 'MyApp.Android'.

The selected build configuration is using the Mono shared runtime for faster deployment. Apps cannot be archived with this setting enabled.

Please ensure that you are using a release configuration and that the "Use Mono Shared Runtime" option is your project's build options is unchecked.

How do I disable that option in Visual Studio 2017?

Thanks.
