Wally, I think I was wrong about what I thought I observed, although that doesn't diminish the finicky-ness of adb. :)
I don't know whether this is a Visual Studio bug or not, but it turns out that the problem was being caused by having two projects with the same name in different solution folders within the same solution. I am using a hierarchy like this for my solution folder structure: · MD [Mono for Android projects under here] o CrossPlatform § MyLibrary [shared code files across all - file links] o MyApp [this has platform specific code/views, etc.] · MT [MonoTouch projects under here] o CrossPlatform § MyLibrary o MyApp · WM [Windows Mobile projects under here] o CrossPlatform § MyLibrary o MyApp · WP [Windows Phone projects under here] o CrossPlatform § MyLibrary o MyApp With this configuration, MD\MyApp does not show as deployable, but if I change the name to anything else, it shows up as deployable. My guess is that it is using the first "MyApp" project it finds for the deploy properties or failing because it found more than one. For now, I am just changing the names of my application projects to be unique. In the future, it might be good to have the option to do the above.

This is really good information. it just reinforces to me the finicky-ness of adb.

I found that I was able deploy if I opened the project file for the android application directly instead of opening the solution file, which made me think it might be something wrong with the solution file, but I didn't see anything there that would cause this. I ended up noticing that I had file locks by some process and found that it was adb. Killing it and reopening the solution made it deployable again. It appears that this was some kind of caching issue? Oh, well. It's working now.

It is also not recognizing the AndroidManifest.xml file when I go to the project property pages, and when I click the "Click to add one" link, it crashes Visual Studio. I checked the project file, and it is still marked as <AndroidApplication>true</AndroidApplication>. I did a compare with the previous version, and the only thing I changed in the project file that I'm seeing might be related is that I modified the RootNamespace and AssemblyName. I tried modifying the AndroidManifest.xml file to set the PackageName to the same value as the AssemblyName (they were in sync prior to my restructuring) just in case that was the problem, but it didn't appear to have any effect. How does Visual Studio determine if a project is deployable? (I know it has to have the AndroidApplication set to true, but there is obviously something else preventing deploy at present) Thank you for your help.
