  Hi,

  We only have this document <a class="postlink" href="https://aspnetzero.com/Documents/Development-Guide-Xamarin#distribution">https://aspnetzero.com/Documents/Develo ... stribution</a> for mobile app. And this one for ASP.NET Core MVC app <a class="postlink" href="https://aspnetzero.com/Documents/Step-by-step-publish-to-azure-core-mvc">https://aspnetzero.com/Documents/Step-b ... e-core-mvc</a>.

  You have asked a similar question before I guess. So, in which part are you having problem ? Maybe we can help you with that.

  @avanekar02 you can use a domain name or a public IP address, both can work. But it is outside of AspNet Zero's support scope. You need to publish your app to IIS and configure it to be accessible by a domain name or a public IP address. You can search it on the web. It is not different then hosting a public website with a domain (or IP address).

  <ins>PUBLISH MVC</ins> 1- Open CMD and navigate to the MVC folder. Then run the below command to bundle your resource

  npm run create-bundles
  

  2- Right click the MVC project and click publish. Don't forget to copy your settings fromappsettings.json to appsettings.production.json and appsettings.Staging.json

  3-To be able to run the MVC project the server has to be installed**.NET CORE Runtime for Windows** <a class="postlink" href="https://www.microsoft.com/net/download/thank-you/dotnet-runtime-2.0.6-windows-hosting-bundle-installer">https://www.microsoft.com/net/download/ ... -installer</a>

  4-Add your website to the IIS as a new website by right clicking "Site" node and choose "Add Website". Assign a port or domain. Domain is not mandatory for Xamarin App to be connected. Xamarin can connect to your MVC with an IP Address as well. Test if your website is running via a browser. Let's say you have successfully added your website to the following URL

  http://123.123.123.123:8080/
  

  <ins>CONFIGURING ASPNET ZERO XAMARIN APP to CONNECT THE PUBLISHED MVC</ins> 1- Open the Xamarin app in Visual Studio. Go to the ApiUrlConfig.cs <a class="postlink" href="https://github.com/aspnetzero/aspnet-zero-core/blob/dev/aspnet-core/src/MyCompanyName.AbpZeroTemplate.Application.Client/ApiClient/ApiUrlConfig.cs">https://github.com/aspnetzero/aspnet-ze ... lConfig.cs</a>

  private const string DefaultHostUrl =  "http://123.123.123.123:8080/"; //TODO: Replace with PROD url.
      /* --- or you can set a domain as well
             private const string DefaultHostUrl = "http://YourMvcWebsite.com/";
      */
  

  Now the Xamarin App can connect to this address for data transfer.

  2- Set project to Release mode.

  3- Android Manifest * Application name: Your Application Name * Package name: com.yourwebsite.mobile * Version number: 1 (always increase the current) * Version name: 3.1 (always increase the current)

  4- Android Options * Use Shared Runtime: Unchecked [ ] * Linking > Sdk Assemblies Only

  7- Right click the MyProject.Droid project and click Archieve.

  8- When finish, click Ad-Hoc button * Certificate password: ****

  9- When finish, click Open Folder * C:\Users&lt;your-username>\AppData\Local\Xamarin\Mono for Android\Archives&lt;yyyy-mm-dd>&lt;your-project-name>.Droid 5-21-18 11.09 AM.apkarchive\signed-apks

  I hope it'll be helpful! Happy coding ;)
