Project not selected to build for this solution configuration

Question

The error:

>------ Skipped Deploy: Project: DrawShape.Android, Configuration: Debug Any CPU ------
>Project not selected to build for this solution configuration 

The configuration in Configuration Manager seems correct:

This is the code of the project I am trying to build:

https://github.com/chrispellett/Xamarin-Forms-Shape

---

What I have tried so far:

Changing from Any CPU to x86 and back.

Setting the Build checkbox to false and then back to true.

Solution 1

As Kowalski said, You must check Deploy Option on Configuration Manager. RightClick on the solution and select Configuration Manager. Then Check Deploy Option for the startup Project. As this image

Solution 2

go To Build => Configuration Manager . then check the deploy checkbox for the startup project . Ps. make sure to select your startup project by right clicking on the project => set as startup project

Solution 3

Select Deploy also from Configuration Manager for android project

Yes we need to check deploy checkbox

I've been facing with this in a CI build server and for me was enough to check build column (it was unchecked)

I was facing the same issue while building the window service through CI build, and just checked the build column and it worked for me.
