Xamarin Android SDK Location

I would like to find out about some logic as to why/where the android SDK items are being picked up.

  1. Installed a fresh copy of Windows 10 as my old hard drive died.
  2. I installed Visual Studio + Xamarin
  3. I have installed Android API 24 + 23
  4. Started new project

Get an error saying that Xamarin cannot find Android SDK API 24 android.jar even though the following file exists (where Xamarin Android SDK manager installed it):

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platforms\android-24\android.jar"

Although investigating the message further, I found that it is looking for a folder called

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platforms\android-N\android.jar"

so I copied + renamed the folder and it seems to be working.

I would like to understand where is it picking up the specific sub platform paths from so I can debug fix these issues easier.

Visual Studio options include a Xamarin section after Xamarin install, where these settings can be found and modified:
