I have just updated Xamarin in Visual Studio 2015 (it was a suggested update from Visual Studio).
After the update, when I start debugging with the emulator AVD_GalaxyNexus_ToolsForApacheCordova (Android 4.4 - API 19)
, the following error occurs:
The "InstallPackageAssemblies" task failed unexpectedly.
System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. ---> Xamarin.AndroidTools.AndroidDeploymentException: InternalError ---> Mono.AndroidTools.InsufficientSpaceException: There is not enough storage space on the device to store package: /data/local/tmp/Mono.Android.Platform.ApiLevel_23.apk. Free up some space or use an SD card and try again.
This did not occur just minutes before the update, and the project remained untouched during the update. I am quite sure about that.
The Xamarin documentation has this error documented here, and says:
There is not enough storage space on the device to deploy the package
This occurs when you don't start the emulator from within Visual Studio. When starting the emulator outside of Visual Studio, you need to pass the -partition-size 512 options, e.g.
emulator -partition-size 512 -avd MonoDroid
But I did start the emulator from within Visual Studio.
