Cannot Install or Debug .NET MAUI Android App on Physical Device (ADB Device Not Found)

Question

I'm trying to debug a .NET MAUI Android app on a physical device, but I cannot install the package on my device. Every time I try to deploy the app, I get the following error:

  1>com.package.appname.apks: Error BT0000 : The APKs have been extracted in the directory: /var/folders/x0/5ng1n64x55lbc92n87txsw800000gn/T/12575039403383254367

What I've Tried:

• Ensured that the package was completely uninstalled before trying again.
• Ran adb devices to verify that the device is connected—it does appear in the list of devices.
• Restarted ADB server using: adb kill-server adb start-server
• Verified that USB debugging is enabled on the device.
• Uninstalled the app manually before trying to install it again.
• Disabled and re-enabled Developer Mode and USB Debugging.
• Revoked all USB debugging authorizations and reauthorized.
• Switched between USB debugging and wireless debugging.
• Restarted both my PC and the mobile device multiple times.
• Factory Reset the Problematic Device: After a factory reset, I was able to debug successfully once, but the issue returned after that.
• Switched to a different Huawei device, and the app installs successfully on that device, but I cannot use other devices.
