Xamarin android debugging taking a lot of time?

I am creating an application in Xamarin Android, the problem is my application Takes a lot of time(around two to three minutes) for debugging even in second or plus attempt and even when I don't do any changes. I have enabled fast deployment in android options and set my Linker settings to none and attached a screen shot here for detailed review of my settings.
and here is my androidmanifest.xml file

xamarin android app crashes after multitasking

I have finished my first xamarin android mobile app. It all works fine. I have only one problem that I cannot solve and I could not find solution using google.
When I start my app it all works great but when I press home button, open and close few other apps and come back to app it crashes. Also when I open app and go turn off my screen and then I turn it back on and to back to app it creshes.
Besides that all works great and there is no crashes.
This crash is happening both on emulator and on physical device.
The error I get when this happens on emulator is this:
android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: Unable to find explicit activity class {com.name.appname/com.name.android.publish.OverlayActivity}; have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml?
How to solve this if possible?
Edit:

Edit2:
I have app version with and without ads. The one without ads does not have this issue. The one with ads does have issue so the ads are problem somehow. I am using startapp ads.

you don't probably use the [Activity] code adornment
[Activity]
internal class YourActivity: Activity {}

If all your activities have
[Activity(Theme = "theme", Label = "name", MainLauncher = true)]
the MainLauncher argument set to true you will run into trouble.
The Activity annotation is used by Xamarin to configure/generate the AndroidManifest.xml
Have you included a MainApplication class, also tagged with the [Application] attribute? Looking at your manifest I am surprised to see the line
<application android:allowBackup="true" android:label="#string/app_name" android:icon="#drawable/icon11" android:name="android.app.Application" android:debuggable="true">
with android:name="android.app.Application". I would expect to see something with an md5 hash (i.e. md5xxx.MainApplication - or whatever the name of your Application class is)
A Clean and Rebuild maybe necessary after changing your application class

How to add nested context menu - visual studio addin

I created the extension for Visual Studio 2015 which looks this
But i want to place all the four menus in a category say My Group. Which should like this.
My Group [On click of this the rest of submenus shoud come same as shown in the image]
menu one
menu two
My vsct file looks like this
<Commands package="package">
<Groups>
<Group guid="PackageCmdSet" id="MenuGroup" priority="0x0300">
<Parent guid="guidSHLMainMenu" id="IDM_VS_CTXT_ITEMNODE"/>
</Group>
<Group guid="ClassPackageCmdSet" id="ProjectMenuGroup" priority="0x0400">
<Parent guid="guidSHLMainMenu" id="IDM_VS_CTXT_PROJNODE"/>
</Group>
</Groups>
and i have buttons like this
<Buttons>
<Button guid="PackageCmdSet" id="BranchModelClassId" priority="0x0100" type="Button" >
<Parent guid="PackageCmdSet" id="MenuGroup" />
<Icon guid="guidImages" id="bmpPic1" />
<CommandFlag>DynamicVisibility</CommandFlag>
<Strings>
<CommandName>Test</CommandName>
<ButtonText>Test</ButtonText>
</Strings>
</Button>
How to created a nested menu which i shouwn in the second image ?
Please help me on this.

I finally figured out the way. The change has to be done in the vsct file.
Add menus first inside the Commands
<Menus>
<Menu guid="PackageCmdSet" id="MainMenu" priority="0x0100" type="Menu">
<Parent guid="PackageCmdSet" id="MenuGroup" />
<Strings>
<ButtonText>Nested Menu</ButtonText>
</Strings>
</Menu>
<Menus>
Then add groups
<Groups>
<Group guid="PackageCmdSet" id="MenuGroup" priority="0x0200">
<Parent guid="guidSHLMainMenu" id="IDM_VS_CTXT_ITEMNODE"/>
</Group>
<Group guid="PackageCmdSet" id="CommandsMenuGruop" priority="0x0300">
<Parent guid="PackageCmdSet" id="MainMenu"/>
</Group>
<Groups>
The button should be like this
<Buttons>
<Button guid="PackageCmdSet" id="ClassId" priority="0x0100" type="Button">
<Parent guid="PackageCmdSet" id="CommandsMenuGruop" />
<Icon guid="guidImages" id="bmpPic1" />
<CommandFlag>DynamicVisibility</CommandFlag>
<Strings>
<CommandName>Command</CommandName>
<ButtonText>Item 1</ButtonText>
</Strings>
</Button>
<Buttons>

Not able to remove menu items as per roles in asp.net

I have
Web.sitemap like this :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<siteMap xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AspNet/SiteMap-File-1.0" >
<siteMapNode url="" title="" description="">
<siteMapNode url="~/Home.aspx" title="Home" description=" this is the home page" />
<siteMapNode url="~/ProjectList.aspx" title="Project List" description="Approved projects" />
<siteMapNode url="" title="Project Choices" description="">
<siteMapNode url="~/StudentChoices.aspx" title="Student Project Choices" description="" />
<siteMapNode url="~/StaffChoices.aspx" title="Supervisor Project Choices" description="" />
</siteMapNode>
<siteMapNode url="~/AllocationList.aspx" title="Project Allocation List" description="" />
<siteMapNode url="" title="Submit Proposal" description="" >
<siteMapNode url="~/submit.aspx" title="New Proposal" description="new proposal" />
<siteMapNode url="~/reSubmit.aspx" title="Re-Submit Proposal" description="re submit proposal"/>
</siteMapNode>
<siteMapNode url="~/StaffRecords.aspx" title="Staff Records" description="" >
<siteMapNode url="~/addStaff.aspx" title="Add new Staff" description="" />
</siteMapNode>
<siteMapNode url="~/StudentRecords.aspx" title="Student Records" description="" />
<siteMapNode url="~/Administration.aspx" title="Administration" description="" />
</siteMapNode>
</siteMap>
I used this sitemap for creating menu items : like following :
<asp:Menu ID="Menu1" runat="server" Orientation="Horizontal"
BackColor="#33CCFF" Font-Overline="False" DataSourceID="SiteMapDataSource1"
Font-Size="Larger" ForeColor="Black" ItemWrap="True" StaticDisplayLevels="2"
StaticSubMenuIndent="60px" Width="100%" OnMenuItemDataBound="Menu1_MenuItemDataBound">
<DynamicHoverStyle BackColor="#9999FF" ForeColor="Black" />
<DynamicMenuItemStyle BackColor="#0099FF" ForeColor="Black" />
<DynamicMenuStyle BackColor="#0099FF" />
<DynamicSelectedStyle BackColor="#0099FF" ForeColor="Black" />
</asp:Menu>
<asp:SiteMapDataSource ID="SiteMapDataSource1" runat="server" />
on code be-hide i wrote following things :
protected void Menu1_MenuItemDataBound(object sender, MenuEventArgs e)
{
//string role = Session["Roles"].ToString();
string AdminRole = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["AdminRole"];
string StaffRole = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["StaffRole"];
string StudentRole = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["StudentRole"];
if (StaffRole == "Staff")
{
if (e.Item.Text == "Project Choices" ||
e.Item.Text == "Staff Records" ||
e.Item.Text == "Student Records")
{
Menu1.Items.Remove(e.Item);
}
}
}
and web config like this
<appSettings>
<add key="AdminRole" value="Admin"/>
<add key="StaffRole" value="Staff"/>
<add key="StudentRole" value="Student"/>
</appSettings>
but I am still able to see those menus, I am not able find out why it's not removing, Can anyone tell me why? Show me sample code.

The siteMapNode already provide an attribute called roles. This attribute hold the roles that can access that area of the site.
For exemple, the Project list should looks like:
<siteMapNode url="~/ProjectList.aspx"
title="Project List"
description="Approved projects"
roles="AdminRole"/>
Theres a Security trimming that in conjuction with ASP.NET Membership can manage the access based on user roles.
You should take a look here: ASP.NET Site-Map Security Trimming

The easiest way to use a SiteMapProvider is to configure with SecurityTrimmingEnabled = true.
Add this under Web.Config file
<siteMap enabled="true" defaultProvider ="AspNetXmlSiteMapProvider" >
<providers>
<clear/>
<add siteMapFile="Web.sitemap" name="AspNetXmlSiteMapProvider" type="System.Web.XmlSiteMapProvider" securityTrimmingEnabled="true" />
</providers>
</siteMap>
try to add the roles to the site map like this
<siteMapNode url="~/StaffRecords.aspx" title="Staff Records" description="" roles="StaffRole">
<siteMapNode url="~/addStaff.aspx" title="Add new Staff" description="" />
</siteMapNode>

Upgrade from ASP.net 3.5 to 4.0 Results in Web.Sitemap Problems

I use the web.sitemap of my ASP.net application to help build my navigation links. This way if my navigation changes, I update the web.sitemap, and it builds my navigation automatically. However since upgrading from ASP.net 3.5 to 4.0 I'm having problems related to my web.sitemap file. After upgrading to ASP.net 4.0 the links generated from my web.sitemap sometimes have strange characters inserted after the domain name (link broken on purpose because my limit is 2):
http //www.cheatsheetwarroom.com/(A(jUhJqoX4zAEkAAAAN2VlZTM2N2MtOWU5Mi00OWUyLTllZTUtMTY4MDY3ZGM2MTM2hMR-oHFFNS-DvXxMDadonaHu8pk1))/fantasy-football/nfl/free/rankings/offense/running-backs.aspx
You can see this by hovering over links on my Sitemap page (if its broken while you happen to view it).
The problem caused by this is that the following method (which takes in the url of a sitemap node as its parameter) begins to return NULL for any nodes throughout my application, even if I point to nodes that I know are in my web.sitemap file:
SiteMapNode myNode = SiteMap.Provider.FindSiteMapNode("~/fantasy-football/nfl/free/rankings/player-rankings.aspx");
This is presumably because the funky urls generated by the web.sitemap no longer match the explicit nodes I'm looking for. Since many of my menu controls are based on comparing the current page to nodes in the web.sitemap file, much of my navigation breaks. When reverting back to ASP.net 3.5, everything works again.
I found this suggested solution on Stack Overflow which suggests the problem is related to 'cookieless' mode. However, as you can see in my web.config below I'm forcing the use of cookies. So, either the suggested fix does not entirely work or I'm not correctly forcing the use of cookies. I should note that updating the web.config file (in any form or fashion) does sometimes momentarily fix the problem, only to have it surface again.

I've been chasing around this problem for the greater part of a year so any help would be appreciated.

The problem seems to lie specifically with use of cookies for anonymousIdentification. This can be seen by the format of the string in Uri.
A(XXXX): This is the Anonymous-ID. It is used to identify the (anonymous) user accessing your application. Source
Your web.config does however seem to show that option disabled and set to UseCookies only.
You can also force session to use cookies.
<sessionState mode="InProc" cookieless="UseCookies" timeout="60" />
