title: Xamarin - Android - Visual Studio - The application could not be started
body: <p>I was working on an Android project using Xamarin in Visual Studio 2012. I recently upgraded from an HDD to a SSD so I reinstalled Windows and all of my programs.</p>
  
  <p>After cloning my git repository and trying to run the application on my device, I have not been able to get it to run. I was able to start a new hello world project and I got that to run, but I can't get this project to run.</p>
  
  <p>This is what the error says:</p>
  
  <p><strong>The application could not be started. Ensure that the application has been installed to the target device and has a launchable activity (MainLauncher = true).</strong></p>
  
  <p><strong>Additionally, check Build->Configuration Manager to ensure this project is set to Deploy for this configuration.</strong></p>
  
  <p>I have searched for a solution to this issue but have been unable to find anything that worked.</p>
