UI.Test error - runtime is not supported

Hi, please could you help me? I spent almost 2 days dealing with UI.Test error. I will explain.

I have created XAMARIN forms app(like visual studio created, I didn´t add anything just Xamarin.UItest project) and I want to try to test it. In my UITest project in Test.cs aI set path to my .apk in Debug folder and I run the test which just runs app. I get this error:
Mono Shared Runtime is not supported. This can be resolved by changing the project configuration or using a Release build.

When I uncheck in project properites "USE share runtime" this error disappears but test also fails because after app id deploye on device and I run it, it doesnt start.
Please hel what to do with it.

or is it possible to test xamarin android app using e.g. Appium?

Thanks

    You can use the .apk generated by the release build configuration and load the app using this apk. This solved our problem

    Also have this issue
    I uninstalled the Mono Shared Runtime app from my android device
    Also did: Right Click on your SOLUTION(not project) -> Properties -> Now under configuration for each project, select "Release". selecting Release will automatically uncheck "Use Shared Runtime"

    I still get the error

    Even more, if I deploy my app from Visual studio 2017 to my Nexus 5x with Android 8.0 - the app launched but it also installs Mono Shared Runtime back on the phone..

    Has anyone figured it out yet? I am at a total loss..

    So I figured out my error..
    I was using the ApkFile path from the Debug folder..
    So I generated a new .apk and saved it in the Release folder

    Everything works now
