Oculus Quest 2 - Android Device is not responding on Unity on Macbook Pro - Make sure USB debugging has been enabled

Question

I build my first VR app using unity. I am getting the following error when trying to build and run on a connected Oculus Quest 2 device!

Android device is not responding! Make sure USB debugging has been enabled and that the device has authorized this computer. Check your device, in most cases there should be a small icon in the status bar telling you if the USB connection is up.

I have tried many different ways to get this working, I am not able to figure this out, is there anything else I can try? I have listed down things I tried and config I have!

• I have developer mode ON.
• When I connect USB to Macbook Pro I do get an option to Allow in oculus quest with the following message and I select "Allow":

Allow Access to data, the connected device will be able to access files on this headset. [Deny] [Allow]

• I see my Oculus quest device in the "Run Device" dropdown in build settings and have it selected.
• I also installed Android File Transfer and I do see all folders and files on the quest 2 device.
• I tried a factory reset and restarting the quest 2 device and my MacBook pro multiple time.
• App I have built runs fine when I click the play button and also it works when I build for the macOS and run on Macbook pro.

Screen shot for the settings and error File > Build Settings

Thank you!

Answer 1

I have installed Android platform tools and Xcode(wrong) and more, it did't worked, additional software is no needed. I have uninstalled all that, and uninstalled the unity version with unity hub and installed again following official tutorial steps and it worked like a charm! https://learn.unity.com/course/create-with-vr?uv=2020.3 Maybe a module was missing or something but I was going crazy for two days. Hope it helps!! MacBook Air M1, Unity 2020.3.32f1, Blender, Oculus Quest 2.

Answer 2

It is working after I installed the android platform tools.

1. Install android-platform-tools

brew install android-platform-tools

2. Reconnect the USB to Oculus Quest 2 device, this time in oculus I got 2 confirmation boxes! One of them has my laptop address and also the checkbox to remember. I selected Allow.

3. After that File > Build and Run is now working all fine!

It required to have other updates to the settings but after I installed adb I did get the 2 confirmations in the quest when I connected and now the build and run functionality works all fine!

I am also developing Quest with Macbook, on Mac OS Unity, you have to install it via terminal with below command.

adb install -r /Users/username/Documents/yourProjects/your.apk

Otherwise, you have to install bootcamp Win10 for debugging via Quest Link mode.
