Please help

 

I deleted .android folder but i'm still getting the same errors.
And i got this warning:
Unable to find player assembly: C:\Users\aliro\Documents\test\Temp\StagingArea\Data\Managed\UnityEngine.TestRunner.dll
UnityEngine.Debug:LogWarning (object)

Yes it happens with empty project.
I deleted the project's library folder but it didn't work..

 

I think I'm having the same problem with 2021.2.8f1. I'm not sure when it broke but it works with 2021.2.3f1.

It looks like the adb daemon keeps crashing for some reason.

I also posted some logs here.

 

As far as I can see there's only one adb running and it's the one from 2021.2.8f1 which I've added to my PATH.

 

I think it's just crashing. If you open a shell or try to install an apk the process ends in seconds.

If I run adb from 2021.2.3f1 then it works fine.

 

I don't know I've never had issues with that before. I'm mostly using one Unity version at a time and when I need to work on an older project I change the path to point to that version (path config). It's also necessary because some third party plugins use the SDK directly and I want everything to use the same version.

In any case, I removed the SDK from the path and it still fails to install the apk to the device when trying to make an Android build. If I check with ps in the terminal after the build fails I don't see any adb sever running.

And I just realized this is a different problem from OP, but posting my logs just in case it's related.

I've already tried but it didn't help. I've also tried on several different devices with the same result. From what I can see, it looks like the adb server in 2021.2.8f1 is crashing/terminating shortly after it starts.

 

A fresh install of Android Studio has the same issues when testing with a basic activity project and the sdk that gets installed by default (platform-tools 31.0.3).

I can see in the logs that adb keeps restarting. Also back in Unity the logcat window shows some logs from the device and then it disconnects almost immediately (after a second or so). Also trying to install the apk manually from the terminal doesn't work because it gets interrupted when adb dies.

I replaced the platform-tools folder in Android Studio's SDK with the one that was shipped with 2021.2.3f1 (28.0.1 according to sdkmanager) and that works as expected. I did the same with the SDK included in 2021.2.8f1 and that seems to be doing the trick for now but it doesn't seem like the best solution.

I couldn't find any way to download specific versions of platform-tools from google so I can't test which version introduced the problem.

 

I've discarded that already. I'm only running one app at a time and I've checked with ps on the terminal to make sure only one is running. You also get a message from adb when there's a different version running and I'm not seeing that here.

 

Another test that I think discards that option.

1. Check with ps that no adb is running
2. Launch Android Studio (with the replaced platform-tools 28.0.1)
3. Check that adb is running (it is, and it works).
4. Upgrade to the latest version of platform-tools with the sdk manager GUI
5. adb starts with the disconnection loop and the problems start.

 

I can also reproduce the issue when launching the adb server in isolation from the terminal.
And it works with the older version of platform-tools.
