Native USB Debugging on Chrome 32 doesn't detect device
android, cordova, google-chrome-devtools
Solution
I had a similar issue. I was previously able to inspect my phone using DevTools and the ADB extension. After the Chrome update where the ADB extension was deprecated my phone would no longer appear in chrome://inspect/ not matter what I tried.
What fixed the issue for me:
- Download the Android SDK
- Locate ADB.exe, found in the platform-tools folder.
Open the file using command prompt
cd c:\path\to\platform-tools\adb.exe
Make sure your phone is disconnected from USB
Type the following commands
adb devices
adb kill-server
adb start-server
Reconnect your phone, authorise your PC and enjoy the USB debugging
Hopefully that helps someone else.
Problem
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3. With the release of Chrome 32, I wanted to try the native usb debugging so I could work with my phonegap apps while they're on my phone (rather than browser testing then transferring). I turned on USB debugging and downloaded the appropriate driver. My phone shows up in device manager but it doesn't show up under about:inspect on chrome. How do I get my device to show up?
