I've problem about using Genymotion Android emulator for xamarin development.
I have intalled Genymotion desktop app and several Android devices within it. Whenever i run any of the installed device in Genymotion desktop app via start button, it works fine but there is no Genymotion emulator in the list of available emulators in Visual Studio, neither in Xamarin studio (There are only built-in Android Emulators and devices installed in Xamarin Android player).
I found some articles about using Genymotion Emulator for Xamarin and all of them says that :
Both Xamarin Studio and Visual Studio with Xamarin discover it, no problemI am using Visual Studio Enterprise Edition, Xamarin business editiorn and free edition of Genymotion, if that matters.

Genymotion is an Android Emulator that is faster than the Android Studio Emulator. Genymotion emulator offers a wide range of virtual devices for development, test, and demonstration purpose. It has a very simple user interface and one can directly use it from Android Studio by installing its plugin only once.
Android studio is an IDE for android application development, while Genymotion is an emulator or just a virtual phone where you can run/test your application (. apk file). Android studio has a default emulator, the AVD. Genymotion is faster than avd, and also better to use.
Android 10.0 - API 29.
Pro Genymotion is a true enterprise grade Android Emulator and a very close competitor to Bluestacks in terms of features and apps compatibility. One of the key differences between Bluestacks and Genymotion is the target users.
Genymotion needs to be running for Xamarin Studio (and thus Xamarin's VS plugin) to see it.
Once your Genymotion virtual device is actually running, then Xamarin will see it as a 'physical device' that it can deploy to.
