Hi pfitas,
Thanks for the response. Yes, everything is greyed out where it wasn’t before. I haven’t used the connect a usb device feature in months. It did work to an extent before, as you can see from my earlier post I link to in the first comment. Already reinstalled it, same issue. I’ve reattached the images. Should I be looking out for anything in the log files?

Hi Britgirl,
Thanks for keeping me informed .Is there any kind of issue tracker that I can subscribe to for this issue? I’ve found a workaround that works inconsistently. I have set up OpenVPN on all my devices so that I can debug over Wifi connection. This doesn’t always work. I’ve successfully managed a few times to debug from different networks. But it sometimes doesn’t work, for reasons I can’t explain. Maybe general network issues. So I would love to see this implemented properly with NoMachine.
Thanks again for your time on this.
Hi Britgirl,
Yes I’ve tried both, no success. It’s been a few weeks since I’ve attempted, but if memory serves it’s not specifically and Android Studio issue. I wasn’t able to explore the the Android devices at all when redirected through the NX connection, however I could use the iPhone devices as though they were attached directly to the Mac. I installed some other third-party software to detect the Android device, but it still couldn’t (I can’t remember what the software was as I removed it a long time ago).
My thinking is that it’s an Apple issue, some kind of permissions issue that Apple branded products don’t have. I believe it worked in a very old version of NoMachine and MacOs, as I remember trying a MacInCloud solution with NoMachine 8-10 years ago and it worked if I’m remembering correctly, but my issue at the time was latency on my connection. Maybe I’m wrong though.
Great stuff. Have you been able to reproduce the issue on your end? I’ve reproduced it on a MacInCloud account. So it seems to be an OS configuration that’s stopping it on the Mac side. I can give access to my physical Mac device if required.
Hi,
Since we last spoke I have set up a trial on MacInCloud replicated my issue there. iPhone devices share with no issues (except for latency/lag), and Android devices have the same issue. They appear in the system report but are not detectable as debug devices by “adb”. So this is obviously a limitation of the software? When I plug in standard flash drives they operate as expected on the Mac. This appears to be something specific to Android devices. Something at the OS level that is preventing your software from sharing incoming devices properly. Can you guys confirm this?
Hi Britgirl,
Sorry, I noticed that already and have already done that. I uninstalled everything the correct way, including NoMachine. Restarted both machines. Installed NoMachine again on both machines and restarted them. Same thing happening. Apple devices share and debug as expected, my Android devices share, but aren’t discoverable by adb so can’t be debugged.
Hi,
I’d be willing to allow support to connect to my machine to further their investigation. I’m not sure if that’s something your IT would allow, but it’s an option I’m laying on the table.

Just some extra information. I tried installing an app from the App Store called MacDroid, and the Android phone isn’t available to connect to in that app either.
Further information:
At different stages, before I found NoMachine, I tried out other USB sharing tools:
FlexiHub
USB Network Gate
Maybe some others
I have uninstalled them all, by using right click in the application in directory and “Move to Bin”. But I don’t know if there are any left over bits that might be causing issues.

The attached “android_studio_2.PNG” is the final screenshot of my Android Studio on the Mac with the devices connected directly to the Mac. You can see there is an extra device available. “SM S711B (mobile)” is my Samsung device. I’ve tried revoking USB debugging authorisations on the device, but I only get the allow this device pop up on the Samsung when I connect directly. I’m at a loss. I’ve scoured the forums, but can’t find a solution to the problem. Thanks for your help again.
Ben.

Hi Britgirl,
I’ve attached four screenshots. I attached an iPhone and a Samsung phone to my Windows machine and forwarded both. The first file (green_light.PNG) show them both with the green light (connected) in the NoMachine device connection menu. The second file (system_report.PNG) shows the System Report USB devices section. Both devices appear there. The third image (android_studio.PNG) is the in Android Studio, the device drop down selector. The first device is “Bernard’s iPhone (mobile)”. This is my physical iPhone device. My Android device does not appear in the list at all. The fourth file (system_report_2.PNG) shows both devices connected directly to the Mac. The appear as expected in the System Report, under different roots in the device tree. I can only add 4 images so I will add a fifth in another comment.
Hi,
I can get you screenshots later if you want, I’m not at my machine right now. It appears to be connected normally with a green light. Just like my iOS devices. However, it won’t show up in Android Studio as a debug device, my iOS devices will. When I connect it directly to the Mac it shows up fine. On the surface, it appears to connect normally to the Mac when using NoMachine, when I actually go to use it though, it’s not. I use Flutter in Android Studio.
Hi BritGirl,
Did the Log files get through to you? I used the chat title as the subject line.
Thanks for taking the time to look into this.
Ben.
