Using Android Emulator from Windows in WMWare Fusion on a Mac – Xamarin July 5, 2018 July 6, 2018 / Ian Vink You can’t run Android in a VM so if you are running Windows on a Mac using VMWare Fusion, you’ll need to connect to the Android running on the Mac. Unfortunately there is no roadmap for Xamarin's Android Player for the time being. You may want to look into Genymotion as an alternative for the use-case you outlined. I apologize in advance, but the Google emulators are ultimately better and maintained. Xamarin Android Player hasn't been updated for a year or so now.

Hi @Krumelur, I do not seem to be able to get an IP for an Android Studio based emulator (or started via emulator -avd command in terminal), Android Player from xamarin provides this as I think Genymotion does. Maybe there is a way? – WickedW Sep 30 '16 at 5:48.
