For now this seems like the only solution. There is a temporary workaround mentioned in the warning here, but it is a bit involved, requiring you to disable SIP. I downloaded it for macOS, but it warned me that until further notice they do not support Big Sur as their system extension has not been approved. I came across this article that mentioned for Samsung phones you need to use Smart Switch. Changing it to something else and back unfortunately does not resolve the issue.Įdit 2: looks like this is a problem with macOS. 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'.

Network traffics on the Mac will go through PdaNet only if your system does not have other connectivities.Sorry in advance if this is a duplicate, I couldn't find a solution to this exact problem posted anywhere. If the PdaNet menu bar icon does not stop blicking when you connect PdaNet, you will need to manully add the new network interface: open Network Preference on Mac and select '+', then add the 'en' interface with the highest number. When the icon stops blicking and turns blue, your computer should be online.Ħ. Now when you connect your phone to the computer, you should see the menu icon changes state, click on it to connect. After this launch PdaNet on the phone and enable USB Tether.ĥ. Once the device is placed in DFU mode and connected with iTunes using a USB Cable, the user can restore latest available version of iOS on it. On the Mac click on the PdaNet menu bar icon and select 'Install PdaNet to Phone' then wait for it to complete. Now you need to add PdaNet to your phone side. On your phone go to Settings->Applications->Development and check 'USB Debugging' ( figure 3).Ĥ. If it doesn't, please bring up network perferences manually to make sure it uses DHCP. If the network preferences window pops up, just selected 'Apply' with the default DHCP settings. During installation PdaNet will add an ethernet interface ('en2' in most cases) to your network list. After rebooting you should see the PdaNet icon on the menu bar. At the end of the installation you will be asked to reboot your Mac. It does not work on older hardwares like the PowerBook or iMac.
