How to sign and debug an android app on a device ?

[Taschon]

I'm using VS2013, and Xamarin stable version. When I try to debug my android app, I can't. There is just no debug... When I try to launch the app on an emulator, emulator freeze et ther isn't my app in it. I wanted to install on an android phone, but I need a signed version app. I read a lot of informations about how to sign an app, but I haven't found how to sign the app on visual studio. Could you give me some advice ?
