Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 RC (launch date: 10/27) introduces support for arm64 debugging when targeting the Android platform. Samsung Galaxy S6 is an arm64 device and not yet supported with Visual Studio 2015 RTM android development experience. You will find the install link for Update 1 RC on this website .
