Android APK only works on Emulator

Hello all,

I'm a bit desperate at the moment, my app works fine in the emulator, but as soon as I export/archive it and install it on my smartphone, the app gets stuck in the white splash screen and then crashes. What could be the reason for this? I don't get any error message in Visual Studio, since it runs on the emulator without any problems. I am really a bit stumped with this....

Best regards

    put your device in a debug mode -> go to setting tap 7 times to build version and you have acces to the menu developer
