Nativescript: TNS Device command fails to find phone

[connorsleight]

Tell us about the problem

I've recently got myself an android phone, it runs android 7.0. I have enabled developer options and followed 3 guides to do so to make sure I'm not missing anything. Despite this, tns device still fails to find my phone. This is the case on 2 pc's both running windows 8 both with Nativescript installed.

Which platform(s) does your issue occur on?

Android

I am unable to find any solution to this. I may have missed something in the developer options but I'm not sure.

UPDATE

I've just tried with an android 6.0 device and the same occurs, file explorer see's the phone but tns device doesn't seem to be able to find the phone

Can you check if USB debugging is enabled in the developer options?

[connorsleight]

Yep, its enabled on both devices

Hi @mast3rd3mon

Can you verify Android tools can find the device:
Windows: %ANDROID_HOME%\platform-tools\adb devices
macOS or Linux: $ANDROID_HOME\platform-tools\adb devices

[connorsleight]

%ANDROID_HOME%\platform-tools\adb devices cant find the device, however, if i plug in a phone i use to use for developing it can, both phones run android 7.0, both dev unlocked and both with usb debugging

If adb can't find your phone or show it as unauthorized then the problem is with Android tooling itself.
For some Android devices you need to install drivers to get them working with adb.
Please search for Android USB drivers for your phone.

Why do i not have this issue with one phone but i do with others though? i never installed drivers for the phone that works currently?

[connorsleight]

More so, i have just installed the driver for my phone from the manufacturers website and the problem persists.

So installing the Android Composite ADB Interface seemed to do the trick for one phone but thats the phone im gonna be using
