Question: I was successfully using Xamarin Community Studio on OSX. Today, my computer reported that Xamarin automatically updated. Now, every time I try to deploy to an Android emulator I get the following error:

Deployment failed because of an internal error: There is not enough storage space on the device to store package: /data/local/tmp/Mono.Android.Platform.ApiLevel\_24.apk.

I get this even when starting a new, blank project. All of this is done through the IDE. I have tried resizing the Android instance to a 4GB drive and 2GB of RAM, same error. 

Anyone have ideas?

Answer: 
I checked, doubled checked, and triple checked, but never found the "internal storage" field referred to by Jon Douglas. However, I did find the answer on that screen. I changed the "Target" to "API Level 24" and then it started working. I think somewhere in there an error message got confused (i.e., it didn't allow it to copy Mono.Android.Platform.ApiLevel\_24.apk, so Xamarin assumed that the reason was storage, when the real reason was an incompatible API).

Anyway, all seems well with the world now. Thanks for your help!
You need to increase the `-partition-size` in your AVD:

`emulator -partition-size 512 -avd MonoDroid`

<https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/android/troubleshooting/troubleshooting/#There_is_not_enough_storage_space_on_the_device_to_deploy_the_package>

You can read more about this here:

You can simply increase the internal storage setting here:
