Xamarin.Forms Previewer "Connection is closed" [closed]

Question

Just opened the Xamarin.Forms Previewer and it says "Something went wrong, Connection is closed" Its a fresh Visual Studio 2017 install and a blank Xamarin Forms Project.

Here is a screenshot

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Answer 1

Here's what worked for me.

1. Make sure Android & Phone are selected in XF previewer.
2. Now Close XF Previewer.
3. Make sure your App.Android project is marked as the start up project.
4. Restart VS
5. Open the previewer again.

I have no idea why the above worked for me, but, who am I to complain when its working.
