In my case, none of the above solution worked. I solved it strangely maybe it can be a bug.

Do not run Genymotion emulator before Android Studio. Firstly, I opened android studio then I clicked run project and select deployment target windows appeared. Then I run genymotion emulator and now the emulator is shown in the select deployment target windows in Android Studio. Then deployed to the emulator without errors. Done!

As another way, you can try to set Genymotion sdk to the same as Android studio sdk. To do this, first find your sdk location. You can find it by right clicking the Android Studio project -> Open Module Settings-> Select SDK location -> under Android SDK location, it is shown. Then open Genymotion -> Settings -> ADB tab -> Click Use custom Android SDK tools radio button -> navigate to SDK folder used by Android studio -> Restart Genymotion virtual device
