error ADB0060: There is not enough storage space on the device to store package: {packageName}. Free up some space or use an SD card and try again.

Issue

ADB0060 means that the internal or external disk space is full on your Android emulator or device.

This message indicates that adb (Android Debug Bridge) reported an INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE or INSTALL_FAILED_MEDIA_UNAVAILABLE error. adb is part of the Android SDK and is used internally by Xamarin.Android to communicate with Android emulators and devices. Learn more about adb from the Android documentation.

Solutions

Consider uninstalling applications or adding an SD card for additional storage.

Implementation notes

Note that nothing in the open source xamarin-android repository emits ADB0060, as features such as debugging and "fast deployment" are implemented in the proprietary Xamarin.Android additions.
