I'm trying to debug my code on the connected devices (iPad and Android tablet), however I only see the Virtual Devices installed: I'm using Xamarin on Mac OS X El Capitan. The USB debugging is enabled on the Android Tablet. OS can detect the connected devices. How can I fix this?

Open System Information Mac OS X app, go to USB tab and try to find your device in list.

If you see device, do it:

1) check xamarin updates and install fresh version.

2) check your project settings

3) check last updates of android sdk/build tools (you must install last versions and remove old versions)

4) restart Mac OS X

last advice resolve problem in my case.

So the problem was the USB cables for some reason. They could charge the device, but Mac wasn't detecting it.

I changed the USB cable and restarted Xamarin Studio, resolved the problem.
