In an attempt to change the targetSDKVersion to 26 and test against Android 8.0 and up, and since I don't have android phone running 8.0 and up, I wanted to use the Emulator for this.
Steps that I followed (after many attempts to make it work ):
1. Delete c:android folder
2. Create a new c:android
3. Download https://dl.google.com/android/repository/sdk-tools-windows-4333796.zip and unzip c:android
4. Open the IDE and make sure that path is setup properly then run SDK manager and install selected
5. at this point I have platforms android-27 & android-28
6. I setup the path to the android jar to : C:Androidplatformsandroid-28android.jar ( or android-27...)
7. I tried the default emulator, and it works just fine
8. Now I install Google APIs and Google Play Intel atom 64 images ....
9. Now I create a new AVD using Platform 28 ( I tried all options )
In all the cases I get the above error.
Please advise
Thanks

I've been trying to develop a mobile app in visual studio 2017 with Xamarin. Everything was going fine until I noticed a message in the output window that my Android emulator is out of date. I followed the instructions to update and now I can't debug. I get the following messages in the output window:
- Emulator Android_Accelerated_x86_Oreo cannot be started
- PANIC: Missing emulator engine program for x86 cpu
I read somewhere that, in the new version, the emulator path changes from C:Program Files (x86)Androidandroid-sdktoolsemulator.EXE to C:Program Files (x86)Androidandroid-sdkemulatoremulator.EXE. I cannot find an option to inform visual studio of the new path. Nor can I get the Xamarin Live Player to pair with my phone. Any help would be appreciated

Open up powershell and run the same command line the emulator starts just fine:PS C:> & '.Program Files (x86)Androidandroid-sdkemulatoremulator.exe' -partition-size 512 -no-boot-anim -avd Android_Accelerated_x86_Oreo -prop monodroid.avdname=Android_Accelerated_x86_OreoHAX is working and emulator runs in fast virt mode.emulator: Saving state on exit with session uptime 5803 ms
And if I press F5 in Visual Studio while I have the emulator running (started via powershell) it connects fine to it and loads the application.
