Xamarin.Android Installing APK as System Application

Ideally if you took a Release .apk, anything in the lib/ABI should go into the respective /system/lib folder.

For example with a File->New Android Project

If I created a Release Aligned .apk, I should be able to extract it and view the following:

lib\armeabi-v7a

Which has two .so files here:

libmonodroid.so

libmonosgen-2.0.so

You will need to ensure that both of these .so files are included in the /system/lib folder and then your application should install as a system application.
