Android 12 - Emulator (Xamarin.Android )

Viewed 2498

I have been trying to find some reliable solution to this but I couldn't. I have added Android 11 - S which is an Android 12 Beta image in Android SDKs as shown in the following screenshot

enter image description here

But when I go and try to create the Emulator device in Device Manager I don't see this API in the list

What Am I doing wrong here?

Final release planned for early 2022. enter image description here

In Visual Studio you can find Android 12 here: enter image description here

From document Android 12 Preview, we find that :

The Android 12 Preview program runs from February 2021 until the final public release to AOSP and OEMs, planned for later in the year. At key development milestones, we'll deliver updates for your development and testing environments. Each includes SDK tools, system images, emulators, API reference, and API diffs.enter image description here

Since it's still in beta, there's definitely some instability, so for that reason, it's still not released. We need to wait patiently for the final release.

In VS2022 17.0.5, Android 12 is available as a choice in the emulators list. However, be warned. Debugging/deploying android Xamarin in VS 2022 as of this version is sloowwwwww. Anyone with any leads on that, please hit me up!
