title: Android studio on Mac cannot detect connected USB phone
body: <p>Constant issue with being able to connect an Android device via USB to Android Studio running on a Mac.</p>
  
  <p>Tried numerous things like:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Switching USB debugging mode on Android to MTP or PTP</li>
  <li>Restarting the Android devices and Android Studio and/or Mac</li>
  <li><p>trying <code>adb kill-server</code>and then <code>adb devices</code>, which usually resulted in:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>List of devices attached</p>
    
    <p>daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037</p>
    
    <p>adb E   655 23135 usb_osx.cpp:327] Could not open interface: e00002c5</p>
    
    <p>adb E   655 23135 usb_osx.cpp:289] Could not find device interface</p>
    
    <p>daemon started successfully</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>But not actually finding the connected device.</p></li>
  </ul>
