Can not connect Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 on Mac OSX 10.12.4

Question

I can not use my Android device with Android Studio.

What I have :

• Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, with Android 4.1.1
• Mac OSX 10.12.4 running on Macbook Pro 2011
• Android Studio 2.3.3
• Android File Transfer 1.0

What I tried :

• Enable the debugging option (development options), connecting the device via a USB cable, the tutorial said "it just works, skip this step" but it's yet another scam (or marketing gimmick) for me.
• Install Android File Transfer, no luck.
• Using adb, but adb devices still doesn't list my device.

Any suggestion or a way for debugging will be appreciated. Thank you.

Answer 1

Did you try installing the adb driver ? Here is how to :

bash <(curl https://raw.github.com/corbindavenport/nexus-tools/master/install.sh)

If you wish to remove them later :

bash <(curl https://raw.github.com/corbindavenport/nexus-tools/master/uninstall.sh)

Hope it will solve your issue.
