android emulator just works fine

Answer 1

Whenever you see a message such as

========== Deploy: 0 succeeded, 0 failed, 1 skipped ==========

This typically indicates your deploy was skipped.

You need to go to Build -> Configuration Manager and check the respective Deploy checkbox for your Xamarin.Android project.

Answer 2

Same as Jon Douglas answer.. But One picture tell 1000 words..

This answer only for lazy people like me..

Step 1 : Build -> Configuration Manager

Step 2: Check the respective 'Deploy' button (In my case android project)
