I've recently run into the problem of the Android Emulator not deploying and showing a black screen instead.
I've been working on this problem for 24 hours now and I can't seem to fix it.
Even a blank Xamarin.Forms Project causes the Black Screen. I guess the path of the Android SDK might be wrong? (but I don't know how to fix it...)?
I got it resolved by running VS as administrator
Try it out.

This is my first question, I think, let me know if have to do in other way.
Past weekend my Visual Studio for Mac, currently v17.4, doesn't works even running a clean new console project, with default Hello World string.
It shows a blank Purple screen and no errors or any other output.
After read this question
Visual studio 2022 for Mac (M1) showing purple terminal and not running program?
I removed completelly using MS scripts https://learn.microsoft.com/es-es/visualstudio/mac/uninstall?view=vsmac-2022
Downloaded and install latest version, but today is happening again.
I'm running Mac OS 12.6 on MacBook Air M1 2020.
Any idea about what could be happening or how to fix that?
Thanks
For those looking for a solution to the Console purple screen in Mac the solution is here...

Remove contents for your Visual Studio version in these folders:
~/Library/Preferences/VisualStudio/17.3
~/Library/Caches/VisualStudio/17.3/
~/Library/Application\ Support/VisualStudio/17.3/
It worked in my case.
I have tried all the ways to install Xamarin Studio on my Windows 10 pro laptop with VS2015 installed. My Xamarin for VS2015 is working. I would like to try Xamarin Studio for some apps. I have downloaded the Xamarin Studio for Windows (6.2.0.1829, the newest). After a successful installation (resolved many issues related to prerequisites), the Xamarin Studio would only run in background. Since I started it many times, there were no Xamarin interface, I checked the process manager and found each time it was running in background). I have searched solutions for 1 day, and evaluated all suggestions, including re-install, repair, reloading, restart. I still could not fix the problem. Please help me to make it run in foreground.
try to update gtk to 2.12.26 .this works for me
I am having some issue when running a Xamarin.Forms application in the Android Emulator using Visual Studio 2015. At the beginning everything was working OK. Every time I did a change either in XAML or C#, when I rerun the emulator I can see the changes (without closing it).
Now, for some reason if I do the same, those changes are not applied in the Android Emulator. In order to see any change, I need to close the emulator and click the green play button again every time.
For example, if I want to change the FontColor of a label to be Blue instead of Black in XAML, before just clicking the restart button was enough to see the change. For any C# change, clicking the stop button and then the play button was enough as well.
Now, to see the same result I have to close the emulator and reload it again. Which take some time.
Has anyone have faced the same problem? Any help/ clue would be ver helpful?
Thanks!

I suggest to get rid of the Hyper-V based VS Android Emulator and use the Intel HAXM
native Emulator. I experienced much simular
issues with Hyper-V emulator, too.
Or much better get rid of any emulator and use
vysor.io and visualize your real device like an
emulator on your desktop. My personal favorit.
Hope it is helpful.
PS: Never in life use GenyMotion. That doesn't work in Remote Desktop Sessions and only runs
on windows machines with OpenGL 2.0 installed
and HAXM and Hyper-V disabled. I currently had that disappointing experience.
A really cool tool for XAML Preview is Gorilla Player!
I am new to Xamarin and i am trying to the sample app "XamarinStone". I can see the emulator is launching, but the application is not loading.
I kept at the same state for 1 hour, but still no hope.
I tried with Visual Studio 2012, but I am facing the same issue.
i installed all the necessary applications as per Xamarin Installer. What else I would need to do?
Can anyone help me to troubleshoot the issue.
Thanks!!
Could you please confirm that you've setup Xamarin latest version in both Windows & Mac PC?
And as per below screenshot of Visual Studio, you see list of iPhone Simulators?
And as per the second highlighted image "Show iOS Simulator" button, when you click on that image, it invokes iOS simulator on your MAC?
I recently reinstalled Windows 8 CP, Visual Studio 2010 Professional and both the WP7 SDKs. My emulator map is just a white screen - the interface is present but there's no map.
I have an internet connection and I've reinstalled both SDKs.
Does anybody know what could be wrong?
Thanks!
Yes, the emulator location tool is not working for some reason. It has already been asked here, and I gave a suggestion on what to do both there and on my blog.
I hope this will get you going! :-)
