Xamarin Android Emulator Mac

Some vendors like Samsung provide skins for Android so you could use them in your emulator when building Xamarin Apps with Visual Studio for Mac. Here is a short description how to add them:

  1. Download a skin, e.g. Samsung Emulator.
  2. Extract the downloaded zip and copy the files to any directory you like. You might want to keep it in the Android SDK directory somewhere. You could find the SDK directory in Visual Studio at Tools -> Android SDK Manager -> Locations. Typically it’s something like /Users/yourname/Library/Developer/Xamarin/android-sdk-macosx
  3. Create a new device in Tools -> Android Device Manager. Set settings for the device, especially OS, Density, Height and Width.
  4. If not listed yet, click ‘Add Property’ and select ‘skin.path’. Enter the full path of the emulator, e.g. /Users/yourname/Library/Developer/Xamarin/android-sdk-macosx/platforms/android-28/skins/GalaxyS10.
