'Unable to run Xamarin Forms Cross Platform Application on an external android device

I have been trying to run my app on my Galaxy Tab A. But it does not seem to appear as an option on Visual Studio. I have tried a lot of solutions and I do not know what else I can do.

My Tablet settings 1

This is my VS version : Visual Studio Community 2019 for Mac Version 8.10.20 (build 0)

Please, if anyone can help me out, I'd be grateful.

Here's a few things you might like to try:

  • change the cable

  • maybe try a different USB port, there were some with similar issues that had issues with USB3 and or non powered hubs

  • Toggle on/off for 'USB Debugging' in settings

  • try restarting adb (the devices list in VSM - "refresh"), or adb kill-server

  • restart the machine
