In USB debugging, the USB mode is still set to MTP file transfer when this issue occurs.

My question is, how can I prevent my phone from trying to charge the Mac? How can I get it to show up as an adb device so I can build to it from Unity?Įdit: alecxs suggested another question as a possible solution but this did not work for me either. Potentially useful information: I have built this exact Unity project to this exact phone successfully from my Windows desktop with this USB C to C cable, but I need to be able to do this from my MacBook. I also tried checking if the phone showed up over adb, but unfortunately adb devices returns an empty list. Trying to switch USB modes on the phone does not seem to work, it will close the dialog when selecting 'Transfer files' but when I check in the notification shade it will still be set to 'Charge connected device'. Attempt to switch the USB mode on the phone from 'Charge connected device' to 'Transfer files'.Install through homebrew (this resolved an issue where the sdk required java 8).

Install android-sdk and android-platform-tools through homebrew.I'm running into an issue where my development phone (it's a Galaxy A5 2017) will start charging my MacBook when I plug it in and will not show up as an adb device. I'm using Unity on macOS and I am trying to build for Android. Sorry in advance if this is a duplicate, I couldn't find a solution to this exact problem posted anywhere.
