I have started doing some development with VS2019 (Community) and Xamaran. Till now I've used the Desktop emulator to test, but now I want to try this on an actual device, in this case an LG550 (Stylo 2 plus). It is an older device but still viable for testing.
Bottom line, VS2019 and Android Device Manager cannot see my LG550. I have done the following:
- Set up Developer options
- Turned of allow debugging
- Set the transfer mode from charging to media transfer and also tried PTP
- I've closed and restarted VS2019 (multiple times)
- I've turn off and on multiple times the LG550
- I downloaded and installed the LG drivers as provided by LG website.
- I installed the Android SDK specific for the phone
- Finally I added a fresh SSD micro drive which I can copy files too.
After all of that I can actually see the physical device in the Android Device Monitor (see pic), but it will will not show when I launch Android Device Manager. Is that suppose to auto detect? Is there a way to manually add it?
My alternative is to try and side load the program but not sure how to install it once I get it on the device.
Windows 10 sees the device.
