    Hello community,
    I have troubleshooting with Unity remote 5.

    What i've done :
    - Specify manually SDK path to replace \ by /
    - Try the package downloaded from Unity Hub and try to use Android SDK downloaded from Google

    Problem :
    When i hit the play in my editor, my custom path is replaced by the same path with \ again.

    Do you have any solution ?

    I just figured it out.
    Chances are you don't have USB debugging turned on, on your phone.
    This is a hidden feature that you see only if you turn developer options on.
    I'm assuming you have an android phone.
    So to do that, go to settings-->about phone
    Click on "software information"
    Tap on the "Build number" 7 times. This will unhide developer options for you.
    Go back to settings menu, and now you can see "Developer options" at the bottom.
    Click on that. Go where it says "USB debugging" and enable that option.
    Now restart unity so that Unity can see your device, and load Unity remote again.
    Next time you hit the run button in the editor, it should be playing on your phone.
