Visual Studio Emulator for Android - project is not deployed

Question

Windows 8.1

Visual Studio 2015 RC

Android 21 application API level (Xamarin.Android v5.0 support)

Recently, I had to rebuild a new computer, as my old one had serious problems. On this new PC, compile the project and run the emulator. However, during the emulator OS boot screen, I get a message with the message:

"This preview version of Visual Studio Emulator for Android will expire in 3 days (s), 13 hours. Upgrade to the new version."

After I click “OK”, the OS emulator finishes loading, and I get the message “2> Emulator started successfully”. in the output window of Visual Studio.

On my previous PC, I did not get pop while the emulator was loading, and after the emulator finished loading, it then deployed the application to the emulator and started debugging. However, after the emulator finishes downloading on my new PC, the output will no longer appear in Visual Studio, and the green download bar in the lower right corner of Visual Studio is approximately 30% off.

I was not able to find any information on the Internet related to the pop-up message that I receive during the emulator loading screen. I can not find updates for the emulator or Visual Studio. I uninstalled and reinstalled Android Studio, Xamarin Studio and Visual Studio twice without changes.

How can I upgrade to the latest version?

Why doesn't Visual Studio deploy the project when the debugger starts?

Answer 1

I found that I had to run Visual Studio with elevated permissions. I changed the properties for the shortcut and checked the "Run as administrator" field, and everything is fine again.

Answer 2

I had some kind of problem and I was able to fix it by manually executing adb connect emulatorhost:5555 from the command line.

Answer 3

Has the same problem, elevated permissions do not work. Running adb from the command line is connected.

New update from Xamiran (version 4.0.4.4), fix this problem for me. :)
