Visual Studio 2015 with Xamarin - Device is not shown on VS

I have Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition with Xamarin inside Windows 7 Virtual Machine. I have my android device connected to the physical machine and Yes the android phone is recognized in the Virtual Machine, since it's shown in the My Computer of Virtual Machine, and also displayed in Other devices under Device Manager.

When I created Cross-Platform Blank App (Native Portable) project in VS2015 and Set App.Droid as startup Project, I can't see my phone. What am I missing?

  1. Check unsupported devices under list of devices to run (or it is just Start button if you don't have any devices). If your phone is there that means your project has higher API level as Minimum target than the phone's API. If phone is not even in that list then
  2. Check on the phone if Developer mode is enabled and inside you have
    • USB debugging enabled
    • Stay awake
    • (Optionally) Allow mock locations
