Android app debugs for a few seconds then just stops
<p>I'm trying to set up a new Android app development environment at home and I've run into a problem that is a showstopper.</p>

<p>First, here is my environment:</p>

<ol>
<li>Windows 10</li>
<li>Visual Studio Community 2015 with Xamarin platform installed</li>
<li>Test device is: G Pad 7.0 LTE</li>
<li>Android Version 5.0.2</li>
</ol>

<p>I'm following this tutorial: <a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn879698.aspx" rel="noreferrer">MSDN tutorial</a></p>

<p>When I go to debug my test app, here is what happens.</p>

<ul>
     <li>Select debug from Visual Studio with my tablet as the target
     <li>VS deploys to the tablet
     <li>App starts on the tablet
     <li>App and debug session runs for about 5-10 seconds.
     <li>Debug session ends and app closes
</ul>

<p>No errors are displayed in Visual Studio and when i turn on Android logging it's a such a massive overflow of information that I don't really know where to begin searching for a problem.</p>

<p>Please also note that when I first set up the app, according to the tutorial, debugging on the tablet worked fine. The initial build is simply a template with a few basic controls.</p>

<p>In between then and when it stopped working I also added and successfully tested a Windows Phone project on a Windows Phone device.</p>

<p>Once I got to the section where I was modifying the project is when the problem started. I thought that perhaps a change in the code I did caused this issue so I tried another blank app and that blank app now crashes as well. </p>

<p>When I deploy the tutorial app to an emulator it crashes immediately but when I deploy a blank app it doesn't crash.</p>

<p>I also tried restoring the tablet to factory defaults and testing again. Same scenario: Blank app and tutorial app run for a few seconds, debugging stops, app closes.</p>

<p>Any clue as to what type of problem I'm looking at?</p>
