  GPS AppIndexing is actually on nuget, not in the SDK manager.

  Try upgrading your Google Play Services component to v25.0.0, and it should do it automatically.

  It didn't work automatically for me, so I ended up:

  deleting ~/.local/share/Xamarin/GooglePlayServices.AppIndexing, as well as /obj/ bin/ package/ and components/ from within my project.

  I also removed all the google play services stuff from packages.config (which is faster than removing them one by one through Xamarin Studio). This is just a text file, and I was able to open it in a text editor.

  I then reopend the project in Xamarin Studio, and after re-adding GPS again (v25) it finally worked.

  Hope that helps!

  @EdwardFleming.1857 Funny... I've just posted a long post about my experience and end up doing more or so what you did. http://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/46871/confused-sdk-installer#latest

  I did end up adding GooglePlayServices stuff from the SDK manager though... Have no clue if it's was needed! Hope someone with more knowledge than I read this post and take the time to actually explained it to me!

  I didn't know that by removing the GooglePlay stuff from the packages.config file I'd end up doing it faster! Thanks for the hint!

  Thank you, @EdwardFlemming!
  In Windows, deleting the folder c:\users\myUsername\AppData\Local\Xamarin\GooglePlayServices.AppIndexing and reopening and rebuilding the solution in Visual Studio did it for me. After the rebuild, the folder was magically recreated, this time including the embedded subfolder.

  @emysa341 I used the same solution as @EdwardFleming recommended. I deleted the following directories:

  C:\Users[username]\AppData\Local\Xamarin\GooglePlayServices.Basement
  C:\Users[username]\AppData\Local\Xamarin\GooglePlayServices.Maps

  Then did a rebuild of the solution and it was fixed.

  This worked for me also. Thanks!

  What I found really efficient in this kind of situations (when working with Visual Studio) is to go to the path

  C:\Users[username]\AppData\Local\Xamarin\zip\

  and remove everything from there. This will force Visual Studio to download all the necessary packages with next build, and then those downloaded packages will be unpacked and distributed among the proper folders

  NOTE: It make take a while to download packages (as some are over 200MB)
