Produce xap file in /Release directory?

I've just about torn out my hair at this point, but I've tried everything I can think of!

I've made three applications just now, that I'd like to compile and upload to Marketplace.

However, it seems you are only supposed to upload Retail / Release versions of your xap file.

I can't figure out what to do!

What I've tried:

Went to Project -> Properties -> Build -> Configuration -> Release

Then I tried to Build Solution, Rebuild and also Deploy.

From what I've seen on forums, that should suffice but when I look in /Project/bin all I see is the Debug folder.

Why?
EDIT: I "fixed" it..
I can see no other explanation that it's a bug.
I had to go in the configuration manager of whatever it's called (posting from my phone) and manually set the debug "profile" to use Release configurations. I couldn't change from Debug to Release.
Weird.

Look in the Output window and see what it's doing. It should show you what the problem is or the path it's building the package in.
