Is there Visual Studio project PropertyGroup condition that can be applied to only Emulators (or Devices)?

I like the Fast Deployment feature for debugging Visual Studio projects but I cams across an Android Emulator that doesn't as yet support Fast Deployment.

I was wondering if there is a PropertyGroup condition that can be applied only to Emulators as shown below (which doesn't differentiate between emulators and devices).

<!-- The following disables Fast Deployment as Android API 33 Emulator cannot yet handle this feature.-->
    
<PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(TargetFramework)|$(Platform)'=='Debug|net8.0-android|AnyCPU'">
	<EmbedAssembliesIntoApk>True</EmbedAssembliesIntoApk>
</PropertyGroup>

Do you want to disable the Fast Deployment when debug in the emulator? Or enable it when debug in the device?

Did you get some error messages?

I want Fast Deployment always enabled, but forced to disable for some emulators. So, disable for emulators.

If not asking too much, ideally, disable for a chosen Emulator (that doesn't support Fast Deployment).

If not asking too much++ , the Visual Studio team would build the tool, such that Fast Deployment would be disabled for an Emulator not supporting it and all is done silently in the background (may be show me a courtesy header message informing me: "... Fast Deployment disabled for current emulator because it doesn't support it".

Hello,

There are no settings could disable Fast deployment for a chosen emulator or some emulators.

Please suggest a feature for Visual Studio
