If you get a permission error on the bash_profile, run this: Open a Terminal on your Mac and enter this to add the Android platform tools into the path:Įcho ‘export PATH=$PATH:~/ Library/Developer/Xamarin/android-sdk-macosx/platform-tools /’ > ~/.bash_profile Once you have installed Visual Studio for Mac, open it and run the emulator for Android. You can’t run Android in a VM so if you are running Windows on a Mac using VMWare Fusion, you’ll need to connect to the Android running on the Mac.
