How to Attach Debug Android Studio

Deploying and running your Unity application (Ctrl+B) has never been easier. But what if you want to debug it on a real Android device? In this tutorial, we will show you how to attach a debug version of your Unit圓D app to Visual Studio using WIFI.

Step 1: Prepare Debug Version

To start, go to Android build settings in Unity and check 'Development Build' and 'Script Debugging'. This step is crucial for debugging your application.

Step 2: Check WIFI Connection

Before proceeding, ensure that you have a stable WIFI connection between your development computer and the device. If you encounter any issues with connecting, try running the command `$ adb connect 192.168.25.221` to troubleshoot the problem.

Once connected, retrieve the IP address of your Android phone by executing the command 'adb shell ip addr show wlan0' in your terminal. This information will be useful later on.

Step 3: Connect Android Phone

To attach your Android device for debugging, follow these steps:

1. Connect your Android phone to the same WIFI station as your development computer.

2. Use a USB cable to connect your Android phone to your development computer.

Now that you have set up your environment, you are ready to debug your Unit圓D app on a real Android device using Visual Studio.

Debugging Your Application

With these steps complete, you can now attach the debug version of your Unity application and start debugging. In this recipe, we used Unity 2017.4 and Visual Studio 2017, but the process should work with other versions as well.

By following these simple steps, you will be able to debug your Unit圓D app on a real Android device using WIFI in Visual Studio. Happy coding!
