I'm new to xamarin. I wrote a simple "Hello World" app using VS 2019 on Windows 10 which runs successfully on the emulators. I have an iMAC on my network and it is successfully connected to my Windows visual studio on Win10 machine. No update warnings or mismatch version error message(s) during the paring of the Windows VS to the remote iMac. On my list of emulators, I have a long list of emulators and "Remote Device" option. All in all, all is well when I work with the emulators.
Now, when I connect my iPhone XR (iOS 13.4.1) using USB to my VS 2019 on Win10, the expected result would be that my device would show up along side of all the emulators so that I can deploy to the device for debugging. My first question is whether or not that is the right assumption. If it is, then in my case that doesn't happen. When I start iTunes program on my Windows machine, it has no issues connecting to my iphone (I can do backup, restore, etc.). Interestingly, in VS, the Device Log has no issues connecting to the connected iphone either. My phone is listed on the drop down box on the top left hand corner of the screen. At this point, I can only assume that is not a connection issue.
What I'm left with is some kind of mismatch setting on VS 2019 in Win10 or on my connected iphone that is causing VS 2019 on win10 not seeing my usb-connected iphone. Any ideas what setting I should fiddle around with? Thanks in advance.
First option, you need to connect iPhone over USB on Mac device , then you can debug in iPhone device .
Second option ,If Mac device not always around you , you also can connect to iPhone device Over Wifi .
An important part of the developer workflow is deploying to a device. Xcode 9 introduced the option of deploying to an iOS device or Apple TV through a network, rather than having to hardwire your devices every time you want to deploy and debug your app. This feature has been introduced in Visual Studio for Mac 7.4 and Visual Studio 15.6 release.
This guide details how to pair and deploy to a device over the network : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/ios/deploy-test/wireless-deployment?tabs=windows
Ok, so what you need to do is select "Debug|iPhone" or "Release|iPhone" from the build configuration menu.
I have some problems to connect nexus 5 with eclipse.
I am using windows 8.1 and I have installed the nexus drivers from google_usb->http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
I can see my device in ADB(using adb -devices) and in DDMS on eclipse, but I can't send apps to debbug it, just nexus doesn't appear in target in eclipse.
In Device Manager my nexus appear like Android Composite ADB Device
I have the developer options enabled and USB debugging too.

EDIT:
I only just tested with android studio and it works, but I don't understand why in eclipse doesn't work
Make sure it says connected as a media device. If it says connected as a camera, tap to change the USB options and check the "connect as a media device" check box.
I installed on PC/XP USB driver for Acer Tab A100 from acer.com
plugin A100 to PC
Hardware A100 regognized as ACER MTP
THEH:
"Cannot install this Hardware
There was a problem installing This hardware Acer MTP
An error occurred during the installation of the device
The required section was not found in the INF"
Please, explain where i'm wrong..
Thanks, Victor
I had some of the same problems on Win 7 x64. The solution boiled down to I went to Acer support and downloaded the USB drivers for the A500 and installed those. I can now see the device storage, the MicroSD storage on the device and connect with adb (currently debugging through the Eclipse plugin). So it looks like those drivers do the trick, I think their installer for the A100 USB drivers is just plain junk right now.
One problem remains: I was getting a .Net error with Acer Sync when I plugged in the device, but I really don't care about that, so I just uninstalled that bad boy.
Wasted the whole afternoon yesterday on the phone and chatting with Acer, don't make that mistake, when it comes to connecting up a dev environment they are clueless.
It´s the only way to connect it, installing USB drivers for the A500 requires you to have installed windows media player 11.
I am developing an Android app for a class I'm taking. I've been using the emulator to date. I know what to see if it runs on the real HW.
My PC runs Windows 7. I downloaded the latest google/Android USb driver. I have enabled the USB Debugging feature on the tablet already. When I plug the tablet into the PC via USB, the PC doesn't seem to see the tablet at all.
What do I need to do to get these two devices to see one another.
thanks,

HI, I'm using superpad 3, and just have adb connection over ethernet, all you need is type cmd: "connect your.pad.ip" and then Eclipse will see your device.
I have the samsung galaxy tab, when I plug it into to eclipse to run and debug my apps. Eclipse doesn't recognize the device. When I try it with my friend's Droid 2 it still doesn't work. Can someone please help me?
If you are developing with Windows, you might need to install the USB driver for our device. For Windows 7, here's how you do it:
To install the Android USB driver on Windows 7 for your device:
Connect your Android-powered device to your computer's USB port.
Right-click on Computer from your desktop or Windows Explorer, and select Manage.
Select Devices in the left pane.
Locate and expand Other device in the right pane.
Right-click the device name (such as Nexus S) and select Update Driver Software. This will launch the Hardware Update Wizard.
Select Browse my computer for driver software and click Next.
Click Browse and locate the USB driver folder. (The Google USB Driver is located in \extras\google\usb_driver.)
Click Next to install the driver.
Check this link for more information if you need it.
Have you tried:
Settings -> Applications -> Development - Enable USB Debugging
In android 4.2.* The “Developer Options” menu item is gone!
Answer: The “Developer Options” menu item on 4.2.* is hidden.
Goto Settings -> About Phone.
Goto “Build Number” at the end of the Scroll list.
Tap on “Build Number” repeatedly (7 times). On your third tap you should see message indicating that you only have 4 more taps to go to ‘become a developer’.
Continue: 4 more taps.
Hooray, you are now a ‘Developer’, go back to the Setting page.
You should see Developer Option menu item in your setting list now.
Open Developer Options and check USB debugging > Ok
****it's work for me****

download the samsung software Kies .it detects samsung deivces
Go to http://developer.android.com/tools/device.html and follow up
this solution worked for me
In addition to Settings -> Applications -> Development - Enable USB Debugging, click on the following option:
Revoke USB debugging authorization
And then plug the device again.
Addition to Tor-Morten's answer: Only checking the Developer setting for USB debugging may not be enough. The USB connection setting (Android 4.4: Settings -> Storage -> Option Menu -> USB computer connection) needs to be checked for either "Media device" or "Camera" before it will be shown in Eclipse's Android Device Chooser window.
Maybe its a matter of how you plugged the device onto your computer. I'm using a mac and pluged the usb into one of the keyboard slots. It doesn't find anything even you've installed Kies with all its new drivers.
After plugging it directly into one of the slots at the computer the device has been recognized imediately.
Even it is a beginner mistake....maybe it helps :)
This is a fairly common problem. You basically don't have the drivers you need for USB debugging.
There are a few different ways I've had to obtain drivers for phones. The first way you should attempt is to go into the Android SDK and AVD manager and download the Google USB driver debug package.
This may or may not give you the driver you need. If it doesn't you will have to do one of two things. One, add the device details to the driver file you just downloaded. Generally these will be posted on forums/boards discussing your phone type. Secondly, you can download a different driver from another source like the phone manufacturer.
Make sure your account has admin privileges. I installed my Motorola drivers without elevating, and although the install ran smoothly it never associated them to the device. Once I ran as admin, worked like a charm.
Ι had the same problem:
While i had activated the debugging options on my phone (Samsung Galaxy S Duos Black), eclipse couldn't find the device because the usb drivers failed to download or something and so in the Device Manager (win7) i saw only Android and CSC something, all yellow and with no installed drivers.
I tried to download the Samsung drivers manually, but this failed to work.
What REALLY worked was downloading+installing Samsung Kies, connecting my device through usb and at first it failed again to put the drivers, then i disconnected the device, pressed some troubleshooting errors button that was on the main screen (NOT the lite version, the normal one), that took some time, re-connected the device and voila, the drivers were installed successfully and both the Device Manager and eclipse recognised the device.
If you are on Linux you can try on terminal the following steps. Don't forget to have your device plugged in. Use sudo if doest work.
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices (see if device is recognized)
I had the same problem with my LG G3 phone.
I tried to re-install the driver as explained here: http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html
Nothing helped. Fortunately on the very same page I have found the link to LG firmware site: http://www.lg.com/us/support/software-firmware
So I did the following:
Connect the phone to the PC using the USB cable
Uninstalled the Google's USB driver (My Computer->Management->Devices->Portable Devices->MyPhone: uninstall)
Download driver for my LG G3 phone (LG885) from the LG site
Install this driver
Got on the phone screen request to approve the new RCA key and allow debugging.
Try to Run an Android project in Eclipse.
PROBLEM SOLVED.
I Had the same problem.
I saw that the product was correctly defined under Device Manager, but Eclispe did not show the product in the target.
The easy way was to install Samsung Kies and to see that the following command:
...eclipse\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64\sdk\platform-toolsadb\adb device
gives me some output instead of only "List of devices attached".
once it recognizes the product, use "run configuration" choosing target "Active devices" under "Launch on all compatible devices/AVD's" radio button.
still, you don't get the product on the list as expected but it works.
Good Luck!
I had the same problem on windows with my samsung galaxy device .. installing samsung kies solved the problem for me.
I had loads of problem getting this to work when I switched to a new computer.
I downloaded and installed Kies, but Windows 7 still didn't recognize my device.
My problem was the proxy my company use, Kies tries to download USB drivers in the installation, but fails silently and finishes the installation.
You might have this problem if your USB Driver folder in the installation is empty (i.e C:\Program Files (x86)\Samsung\Kies\USB Driver).
Solution for me: install Kies without a proxy.
Unload EasyTether extension.
This worked for me - look at the part about unloading the EasyTether extension. adb not finding my device / phone (MacOS X) I was able to connect my samsung galaxy note 2 to macbook pro snow leopard.
Download new USB driver for samsung/pc connection here:
http://developer.samsung.com/android/tools-sdks/Samsung-Andorid-USB-Driver-for-Windows
After enabling developer mode and USB debugging of course.
The phone should ask to accept the pc location as secure after USB driver upgrade.
Installing KIES did not fix the problem on my Galaxy Note 3.
