xamarin Application Failed To Deploy in Visual studio 2013

Question

I tried more to run my Xamarin Application. It builds successfully but when trying to debug, the following ecxceptions are risen.

As I understand there is some missed packages because

Unexpected install output: Error: Could not access the Package Manager. Is the system running?

message is displayed below the deployment status message.

Debug output

Answer 1

Are you using ARM based emulators (I had the same issue)?

If yes then those are very slow and the application cannot be deployed until those are started.

Use x86 based emulators, these are not so fast but atleast bearable.

In any case (x86 or ARM) start your emulator first and wait until you see the home screen.
