    We're trying to use frame debugger to identify a problem with rendering.
    I'm running a Development Build on an Android device, but there is no information in Frame Debug.



    How do I connect to frame debug with the game running on the device?
    TIA

    I don't know if that's still the case in recent Unity versions, but when the Frame Debugger was first introduced, I always had to open the Profiler window first, connect to the game in the Profiler and only then I was able to actually connect with the Frame Debugger. This was in Windows Standalone, never tried Android though.

    The docs say that the Frame Debugger also requires multithreaded rendering. Do you have it enabled?

    Not to bump this, but I had the same issue.
    The player wasn't showing up in the profiler.

    Then I did the following steps:
    I went to a windows command window.
    Type: ipconfig /all
    Note your IPv4 address.
    Then in the profiler, choose connected player -> Enter IP
    Then enter the IPv4 address of your computer.
    It worked for me
