Android Studio 2.3 & EMDK For Android Beta Fix

The current version of EMDK For Android 6.x will not work if you have upgraded to the latest Android Studio release 2.3. You may not have noticed this unless you tried to use Profile Manager from the EMDK menu. While we plan on incorporating this into the next official release, we felt it was important to put out an immediate beta release patch to address this now prior to the official release.
