Hi all,
I'm new to Xamarin that I have installed to try on a Windows platform. I'm experienced iOS programmer and also used to Visual Studio. I'm using Xamarin Studio for my first test.
I have a standard installation. When I create my first project and try to run it, the only emulators I have are for API_10 and API_12 (why is that?)
I go to SDK Manager and download and install all packages for API 15
I then go to AVD Manager and create an emulator for API 15, using armeabi-v7a (different from the armeabi that the already existing emulators use).
Back to Xamarin Studio I try to run my Hello World with API 15. Xamarin states that its "starting emulator ..." and doesn't go from there, never reaching the installing application phase, although the emulator window appears.
If I manually start the emulator from the AVD Manager and go back to Xamarin Studio to run the application, I get the following:
Detecting installed packages
Removing old runtime
Installing shared runtime
Deployment failed because of an internal error: Unexpected install output: Error: Could not access the Package Manager. Is the system running?
Deployment failed. Internal error.
Does anyone have a hint of what I'm doing wrong?
thank you in advance,
Pedro
