Summary
Add a method to list available Android emulator skins from the SDK's skins/ directory and system image skin directories.
Motivation
When creating AVDs programmatically, consumers need to present available skins to the user. Currently there's no API in Xamarin.Android.Tools.AndroidSdk to enumerate skins — consumers must manually scan \/skins/ and system image directories.
This is needed by tools like MAUI Sherpa and IDE extensions that provide a GUI for AVD creation with skin selection.
Proposed API
csharp public Task<IReadOnlyList<string>> ListAvdSkinsAsync( CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);
This would scan:
\/skins/ for standalone skins- System image directories for bundled skins
