Troubleshooting when adb devices fails to run (on MacOS)

  1. Unplug the Android device from USB and plug it back in to grant device access permission
  2. If that still doesn’t work, go to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Full Disk Access and grant permission to the terminal app
  3. Restart adb: adb kill-server && sudo adb start-server && adb devices
  4. If that still doesn’t work, reinstall the Android connection tools: brew install android-platform-tools android-file-transfer
  5. Reinstall scrcpy as well: brew install scrcpy
  6. Restart adb: adb kill-server && sudo adb start-server && adb devices
  7. Run scrcpy
