title: Why does visual studio 2013 run adb.exe when I try to debug using an android device?
body: <p>I have a Sony Xperia Z3 and I'm trying to debug an Apache Cordova application aka: Multi-device hybrid application on my device but visual studio builds and then opens adb.exe after the build is complete. It doesn't launch the application on my device although my device does prompt for verification. </p>
  
  <p>I have developer options enabled on my device and I have USB debugging enabled. </p>
  
  <p>I followed the steps on MSDN to debug an application on my device but it still doesn't work: <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn757059.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn757059.aspx</a> </p>
  
  <p>I created a self signed keystore using the keytool in jdk and that works fine.</p>
  
  <p>I have all of the necessary drivers installed and my device appears under the "adb devices" list of connected devices.</p>
  
  <p>I tried deleting all the drivers and reinstalling them as well as updating them. </p>
  
  <p>The ripple emulators work perfectly. It's just when I try to debug on a device.</p>
