##Troubleshooting
If you get this error:
Unzipping failed. Please download https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/support_r19.0.1.zip and extract it to the C:\Users\AppData\Local\Xamarin\Android.Support.v4\19.0.1\content directory.
Quick workaround: Clear all the folders in the location C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Xamarin and then Clean and Rebuild the Solution. This build might take some time (serveral minutes) as all the packages will be downloaded again by the Visual Studio.
