Question Correct way to debug/run from editor to android phone?

I cant get unity editor to test run on my android. I get this error:

CommandInvokationFailure: Unity Remote requirements check failed C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\2021.3.9f1\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\SDK\platform-tools\adb.exe forward tcp:7201 tcp:7201

Im using Unity Remote 5 on the phones

Ive tried 2 different android phones

Ive tried 2 different projects. My own and a brand new Unity Mobile template.

Ive enabled developer mode on the phones Ive enabled USDB debugging on the phones

Ive tried disabling /renabling usb and developer mode

Ive given the phones transfer files access

The editor Unity Remote device setting in the unity project is set to Any Android Device If i go to Build Settings i can see my phone as selectable I can actually build and run and have the project start on the phone

Ive also followed these instruction several times.

Weird thing is I did get it to work earlier. I dont know how. I just tried the same thing as ive described in OP. Once it worked. Then it didnt. Then it started working again and i could swith the project on and off 2 times untill it just stopped working. After that it hasnt worked again.

So i have been doing the same things about 60 times and about 4 of those worked. Can someone confirm that this is indeed the way android development in Unity is supposed to be done? So im not sitting trying to do something arcane that is no longer supported?

 

I get adb.exe: error: more than one device/emulator

Im not trying to run the remote app anymore. Im building and opening on the phone and im trying to get debug info through catlog. But noting comes due to this error. When i run devices i can see my phone and emulator-5562 offline.

Ive tried

adb -s emulator-5562 emu kill

returns:

error: could not connect to TCP port 5562: cannot connect to 127.0.0.1:5562: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. (10061)

Ive also tried

adb.exe -s R3CT20DP74P forward tcp:7201 tcp:7201

which returns

7201

but does nothing else. Emulator is still there.

 

Ive tried several times by using the command adb kill-server but the emulator pops back. Ive also tried with the disconnect command. Then i get an error that it refuses to disconnect. Is this emulator from Unity? I dont know where else it could be from.

 

I understand. Im new to this so im not sure what to do. I dont seem to have Android Studio installed and i cant find any ADV or device manager either. Ive been searching windows and especially same folder where ADB is found (The android SDK that comes with Unity).

 

Thanks! I actually already found that one yesterday and tried and its spot on! I could trace the origin of that emulator. Im a game music composer and have lots of Native instruments sound libraries and its one of them that created this zombie emulator! Totally unacceptable! I am going to write to them they need to change that. To anyone having this issue. The culprit is a service called NTKDaemon. You can kill it manually through the task manager. It will start when windows starts up. You can uninstall it following this threadd
