Can't select android as target in Visual Studio for Mac

Question

I have just installed Visual Studio for Mac (On Mac OS X 10.12.1) and I'm trying to target android with no luck in xamarin forms neither native projects. The Android option is greyed.

If I go to Preferences -> SDK Locations -> Android:

• Android SDK
• Java SDK
• Android NDK

are installed and their path is known by Visual Studio (The three checks are green). Any idea why is this happening? Thanks.

Answer 1

"The iOS and Android options will be disabled if neither Xamarin.iOS nor Xamarin.Android is installed. If you install those components then these options should be available.

If you look in the about dialog's Show Details page that should indicate what you have installed."
