Did you manage to run it on earlier versions? Sometimes it just wont work until you restart your android device.

Even if you don't have android device, you can use Genymotion – Free Android Emulator (For Personal Use), its run my unity APK's so far.

In my case I just had to switch the USB Mode of my phone from "transferring Data" to "transferring pictures" (second option from top)

For Xiaomi phone Users, Make sure to select PTP option(Transfer photos) by tapping on 'charging only' when you connect to pc via USB.

I did that but it still doesn't work for me. I have restarted the computer but that didn't help either. Do you have any more ideas?

It finally works!!! I had to change the path of my SDK manually.

Here is the link to $$anonymous$$urmer's answer. https://answers.unity.com/questions/1628598/set-up-android-sdk-path-to-make-android-remote-wor.html?_ga=2.8805941.1492158098.1594711921-940295631.1591961151.

Thank you $$anonymous$$urmer!!! I was going crazy

I got this alert: "Set-up Android SDK path to make Android remote work". That must be set on Unity/Edit/Preferences/External Tools

I also had to install Google USB Driver on the Android SDK manager/SDK Tools

The last missing step was: Unity/Edit/Project Settings/Editor/Unity Remote Device set to 'Any Android Device'

I hope that helps

If people are still having trouble with this I've finally been able to get some stubborn android devices to work with the Unity Remote by disabling and re-enabling developer options:

1. Close Unity
2. Unplug device
3. Disable Developer Options on your phone if they are on
4. Enable Developer Options (Typically you just need to go to "About Phone" in settings and click "Build Number 7 Times)
5. In Developer Options, enable "USB Debugging"
6. Plug your phone back into the PC
7. Start Unity
8. Make sure Editor is set to allow any Android Device


Not sure why this works as I was under the impression you didn't need to have Dev Options on to use the remote, but it works for me.

Hope this helps someone!
