Adb devices can't find Android device on OS X 10.8.2
I am struggling to debug my application on my phone.
I'm new to the Mac world and I'm used to developing on Windows with no problem, so I guess it's not my phone's problem ...
To be clear, this is my problem right now
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *

I've tried the following:
- Enable USB debugging on my phone
- Modify adb_usb.ini file to include Vendor ID
- Set the connection mode to "USB Massive Storage"
- adb kill-server / adb start-server / adb devices ...
- restart your computer.
- restart your phone.
- scream at the computer
Nothing seems to work ... What else, I haven't installed EasyTether or anything, so it shouldn't get in the way. My phone is ZTE Skate, I mention this because it is not that famous, but as I said, I could work with it on Windows ...
As a curious fact, when I connected my phone in Windows, the notification bar showed something like "Debug module connected", but this does not appear when I connect it to my Mac. And, of course, in both cases I have the "USB debugging" option activated.
Any ideas?

Wow, I think I found a workaround. Seems like an awkward solution but so far it works ... Alternatively I tried using adb wifi apps like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ttxapps.wifiadb&feature=search_result# ? t = W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS50dHhhcHBzLndpZmlhZGIiXQ .. The problem is that these applications require an embedded device. Anyway, the only launch of the application (without enabling the feature) made my device be aware that it was a debugger. Then I just plugged in the USB cable and it worked as usual. Hope this helps someone! Of course, if anyone comes up with a cleaner solution, just post it!
