Developers no longer need to add the 379<code>android:debuggable</code> attribute to the 380<code><application></code> tag in the manifest — the build tools add 381the attribute automatically. In Eclipse/ADT, all incremental builds are assumed 382to be debug builds, so the tools insert <code>android:debuggable="true"</code>. 383When exporting a signed release build, the tools do not add the attribute. In 384Ant, a <code>ant debug</code> command automatically inserts the 385<code>android:debuggable="true"</code> attribute, while <code>ant release</code> 386does not. If <code>android:debuggable="true"</code> is manually set, then 387<code>ant release</code> will actually do a debug build, rather than a release 388build.</li> 389<li>Automatic ProGuard support in release builds.
