Can't pass certification because the .dlls are built in Debug mode

[2percenter]

Maybe I'm missing something (it wouldn't be the first time), but when I run my apps through the certification check, all of the plugin's .dlls get flagged for being built in debug mode. From what I have read, this wasn't an issue on Windows Phone 8, but started cropping up in 8.1. I don't know if that's true for apps in the Store. Is it possible to get the .dll files rebuilt as release versions? I can't seem to find any other way to work around this except to ask for a rebuild directly from ScruffyFurn himself.

Here is the cert failure messages from the Windows Store version for reference:

Error Found: The debug configuration test detected the following errors:
The binary Windows_Ad_Plugin.dll is built in debug mode.
The binary Microsoft.Advertising.WinRT.UI.dll is built in debug mode.
The binary Microsoft.Advertising.WinRT.dll is built in debug mode.
Impact if not fixed: Windows Store doesn’t allow a debug version of an app.
How to fix: Please make sure the app isn’t linking to any debug versions of a framework, and it is built with release configuration. If this is a managed app please make sure you have installed the correct version of .NET framework.

I'll do my best to get release version up, but you can build it from the code. Just when building it make sure its set to release in the drop down (beside the platform, run buttons, etc... in the tool bar) if its not there you can add it in settings.

I realized there was a VS solution for the actual Windows_Ad_Plugin. Using that, I was able to build that .dll in Release mode. Perfect!

Now, it is still barking at me about the Microsoft.Advertising.WinRT.dll and ...WinRT.UI.dll being in Debug mode. After unsuccessfully trying to locate release versions of those (which I assume are part of the Advertising SDK), I tried removing the references from my Windows Store App. Running it locally, the test ads came up just fine. I know I don't need these two files for the Phone version, but the instructions make it clear they are needed for the Store version. They don't seem to be necessary in my quick tests and it passes the cert checker. I guess I am going to plow ahead with this set up and hope it works out.

I don't know if you can include release versions of those dlls in the plugin package itself and if that would help out others or if I'm just the slow guy who is struggling.

Thanks so much for your help and for creating this plugin at all. Despite my bumbling about, it seems to work really well!
