Xamarin - Visual Studio stuck at zipalign.exe

Question

When trying to deploy an app in Android Device, VS is stuck here:

1>C:\\Users\\George\\AppData\\Local\\Android\\android-sdk\\build-tools\\23.0.1\\zipalign

Answer 1

This question may be old but I had this problem right now.
I am using a real device and not an emulator and my solution was to:

1. Restart Visual Studio
2. Clean and rebuild the project
3. Restart the device

Then the deployment worked. I hope this is going to help someone.
