Unable to run Android Emulator

Question

I have a Xamarin.Forms project in Visual Studio 2013 and when I try to run my Android application the emulator loads but then it doesn't load the app and different errors will occur.

When I try to run the Android Emulator depending on what settings I chosen it either pops up with

DWP handshake failed

or in the debug output it shows

Couldn't connect to logcat, GetProcessId returned: 0

All existing solutions I have found haven't worked so far, even though they have worked in the past.

Answer 1

deselect 'Use Shared Runtime' in Project Properties > Android Options > Packaging properties
