将我的Android设备与Visual Studio 2015 RC连接

Question

I have compiled a sample Android project with Visual Studio 2015 (RC - Community Edition), now I would like to deploy and execute it on my connected android device. ADB seems to be working:

• "adb devices" is showing my device "CB5A1N42TN device"
• using the menu "Tools / Android / Android Devices Monitor" tools I am able to see the connected device
• in Android Studio, I am able to deploy and run my app on the device

But in Visual Studio 2015, when executing the project I have the following error message:

1>Error installing the package. The device '' is invalid or not running.  <...>

So I suppose I should input my device somewhere, but I can't find that place in the options available. I also noticed that on the dropdown menu for the execution there is a "No devices available" message.

Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

Ok I found the answer , hopefully it will help others.

The configuration was pointing to "X86", once I selected "ARM" then the device appeared in the list of targets I could run the app on.
