Timed out waiting for process to appear on device - android

I am having the following problem when running or debugging apps on a device or emulator with Android Studio. The application is installed but it is not started on the device (or emulator). In the Run window I can see the following:
Launching app on device.
Waiting for process to come online...
and after some time I see the following:
Timed out waiting for process to appear on 'device'...
I have attached a screenshot that shows the problem.
The problem started recently. I am using the latest version of Android studio (3.5.1) and a Google Pixel device running Android 10 but the problem happens on emulators and other devices running previous versions of Android. The problem also happens on two different computers, with different Android applications and devices - the common factor is Android studio. Finally, the problem seems to have started after I updated Android Studio to 3.5.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I have tried many things (clear cache, rebuild, invalidate and restart, etc) without success.
Any ideas?

You mentioned that restarting Android Studio didn't work for you...but it worked for me...
File > Invalidate Caches / Restart... > Just Restart
Android Studio 3.6.2
Build #AI-192.7142.36.36.6308749, built on March 18, 2020

There is a bug in the recent Android Studio release. You can revert to previous version or test it from command line.

For me the problem was that I accidentally removed the Launch of the Default Activity in the "Run > Edit Configurations..." option.
Just insert the "Default Activity" under "Launch Options" and your application will run again on your device.

For me, it took marking the build as "debuggable" in the application build.gradle file.
For example:
android {
//...
buildTypes {
// ...
releaseStaging {
debuggable true // <- add this line
signingConfig signingConfigs.release
applicationIdSuffix ".releaseStaging"
versionNameSuffix "-STAGING"
matchingFallbacks = ['release']
}
}
}
Remember to remove this before building release APKs though!!!

Even if I faced the timed out issue in one plus and followed steps that fixed for me.
Go to the respective app
Hold for 3 sec > App info> permissions> allow for storage>.
Next, go to adv settings> battery opt > check "Don't optimize.">
Come back and scroll down > display over other apps> enable....
Hope this helps.

I managed to fix the problem by uninstalling Android studio, deleting all relevant files in the user folder (including gradle cached files) and installing the latest version of Android studio. The problem seems to have been fixed after several months. Note that I am now using Android Studio 4.1.

Hey I had this same problem recently, I tried re-starting adb server but no luck, however when I uninstalled the APK present on my device. Then everything was back to normal.
When I tried to run it on a emulator which didn't have application already, it worked perfectly fine.
Hope this helps :) Thank You.

I tried most of the answers from here and on YouTube. What worked for me is updating my Android studio to the latest version; 4.0.

Everything was working fine for me, when I started getting the error described in this question. So I created and started using a different virtual device for the emulator, and it didn't have the problem.

I was using debugging over Bluetooth.
Giving Location permission to the WearOS app on my phone solved the problem for me.
(Bluetooth scan access is restricted in the modern android versions unless fine Location permission is granted)

In case it can help someone...
try one of the following:
Make sure device is not connected the same time via data cable and wifi
2.If you are connecting through wifi, try to connect via data cable.
3.Check maybe your device has some component or anything maybe like fingerprint interfering with the connection.

When these errors occur:
Message in Run
No communication with Run (stacktraces, System.out ...)
No restart button
Install the newest Android Studio version
Try on different virtual devices, some of them are glitched

Android Studio : The application could not be installed: SHELL_UNRESPONSIVE

i'm trying to install my app debug from my android studio. it's work well yesterday, but today when i try to install it again, the application cant be installed on my device and showing error like below on my android studio.
Installation did not succeed.
The application could not be installed: SHELL_UNRESPONSIVE
The device timed out while trying to install the application.
Retry
what should i do? i tried install on other device, and it worked fine. My device is Redmi 4X and other device is Samsung J3
Faced the same issue, not sure of the reason but in Android studio, Click on the File -> Invalidate Caches/ Restart and then it starts to work.
I got same issue with my device. i restart my device and its work properly.
The problem is because you don't have the proper SDK for the Android version. I'm telling you because a month has passed for me too. The solution is to download the appropriate pack in the SDK Manager.
If you have doubts how to enter:
Close the project.
In the welcome panel click on settings, then choose the SDK Manager option.
Click show package details and select the version for Android and choose all packages.
Finally you click ok XD
Try this method if it works perfect greetings
If other answers didn't help and previously application was installing correctly on your device, try to check your AndroidManifest file. Check that nothing forbids to install your app because of os version conflict or manifest merging errors or other reasons.
I came across this problem recently, through process of elimination I determined the cause was related to dependencies in the build.gradle(your app name).
I suggest working backwards and comment out everything that was added since the last known working build/install.
In my case I have a legacy app developed back in 2016 being rewritten, dependencies for signalR have changed quite a bit since then, the original libs where causing the install to fail while everything else seemed excellent, not even a single build error was occurring. Commenting out the libs and references got the application to a runnable state.
In my case, I deleted the emulator and recreated it. It solved the issue.
Before this, I had already tried following which did not work for me:
From menu: File->Invalidate cache/restart.
Deleting .cxx, .idea, .gradle, build folders and rebuilding.
Cold boot device emulator
Posting this in case someone is trapped in my kind of situation.

Android Studio 3.5 deploy issue on my smartphone

I have just updated my Android Studio to 3.5 and I am starting to use the new "Apply Changes" feature. I can deploy my apps without problems using AVD, but when I use my smartphone (Galaxy S9+ with Oreo) the process keeps crashing and all the times I have to kill manually the app and click Start.
I've already tried to create a new project, kill all the apps, plug & unplug the USB cable and restart my device. I tried also Invalidate cache/restart and clean project.
This is the error that the IDE gives me:
E/zygote64: Bad JNI version passed to GetEnv: 805372416
E/studio.deploy: Error retrieving JVMTI function table.
Changes were not applied.
We were unable to deploy your changes: MISSING_AGENT_RESPONSES
Thanks for your help
After contacting the Google Team they have opened a new issue, here's the link if you want to stay updated: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/139942372
UPDATE: Google has marked this issue as fixed, I think that in the next update everything will be fine.
If this is happening with a plain project, my guess is that there is some incompatibility between your device and the "Apply Changes" feature in Android Studio 3.5.
This issue seems to match your symptoms. Keep an eye on it, and with luck this will get fixed in Android Studio 3.5.1, either by fixing the IDE or at least detecting that "Apply Changes" will not work and reacting better.

App not installing in Emulator, showing "No Debuggable Processes"

I'm building an app in Android Studio. After some time the app stopped reflecting the progress of the building development. I then uninstalled the app from the emulator and it has not installed although build is successful every time. I built the apk for the app and dragged it to the emulator. App is installed but does not start. Is there anything to make it work?
Have done the following:
enabled and disabled Instant Run
enabled and disabled ADB integration
restarted Android Studio added debug{debuggable true} to buildTypes in the app gradle even though it is not advisable
Device Monitor says "ADB rejected shell command (ls -l /)" and "Adb connection Error:EOF"
Thank you
PS:
Android Studio version 3.0.1
Check "minSdkVersion" in App Gradle. if it is less than the Emulator which you have then it will not install or run on it. Make sure "minSdkVersion" should be greater than or equal to Emulator API level.
In Android studio Go to "Build Variant" tab and then change your application build Varian to Debug.
Finally solved it. Thanks to Andy Boot's answer to this question. In short:
I went to Run->Edit Configurations->Android App->app
The Launch droplist had 'Default Activity' selected. I changed that to 'Specified Activity'
I then filled in 'MainActivity' in the Activity field, which has the 'LAUNCHER' intent in the Manifest file.
And that got my app running once again on the emulator ;)
Thanks, everyone.
Do the following if you are facing like Gradle Build finished successfully while running app but app is not installed in Mobile or Android Emulator then follow the steps
In 3rd image 'Deploy' and 'Launch' options should be selected as shown in picture. Apply settings and click OK. YOU DONE.. HAPPY CODING.

Debugging with Android Studio stuck at "Waiting For Debugger" forever

UPDATE
The supposed duplicate is a question on being stucking in "Waiting For Debugger" when executing Run, while this question is on being stucking in "Waiting For Debugger" when executing Debug, the steps to produce the problem is different, and the solution(s) are different as well.
Whenever I try to use Android Studio's Debug function, the Run status would always stuck at:
Launching application: com.astrotek.parashoot.debug/com.astrotek.ptpviewer.StarterActivity.
DEVICE SHELL COMMAND: am start -n "com.astrotek.parashoot.debug/com.astrotek.ptpviewer.StarterActivity" -a android.intent.action.MAIN -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER
Starting: Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=[android.intent.category.LAUNCHER] cmp=com.astrotek.parashoot.debug/com.astrotek.ptpviewer.StarterActivity }
While the device (Samsung Galaxy S3 Android 4.3) I'm debugging would display
This has being the case from Android Studio 0.8.8 all the way to 1.0. And on the same computer I can perform debugging using Eclipse on the same device without any issues.
So the question is what can I do to make Android Studio debugging work?
Update: The same thing happens when debugging on Nexus 7 (2013) running Android 5.0; and testing on another machine rendered the same result. I can't be the only one encountering this issue :-/
Update: Opened a bounty since this issue is so annoying. Even re-installing the app doesn't solve. Nexus 5 running Cyano, Win7 64. The ADB log is telling:
8568-8568/it.myapp:myprocess W/ActivityThread﹕ Application it.myapp is waiting for the debugger on port 8100...
8568-8568/it.myapp:myprocess I/System.out﹕ Sending WAIT chunk
Also, I can't find an easy way to disconnect nor reset ADB connection in Android Studio.
Obviously is yet another Android Studio, or rather ADB bug.
Just use this command to disable it.
adb shell am clear-debug-app
OR
Ensure there is nothing to wait for, by automatic uninstall from Device before each test-run, using Gradle's uninstallAll task, as mentioned in:
stackoverflow.com/Auto uninstall before install?
On some machines/projects the debugger do not attach automatically so you need to attach it manually (studio menu -> Run -> Attach debugger to Android process)
Restarting Testing device fix the issue for me.
Restarting Android Studio fix the issue for me.
After clicking on the run icon. If it is stuck waiting for a debugger means it is not attached to the app. You have to manually attach by clicking on Attach Debugger to Android process.
It is on the right side of the run icon. I had focus this icon in linked image.
Updated Image for Attach Debugger to Android process Icon
Debugger stopped connecting for me today and nothing worked until I tried the following:
Go to Run, Edit-Configurations, Miscellaneous Tab, uncheck 'skip installation if APK has not changed' Apply, OK.
Debugger started to connect again.
A similar question has been asked recently and the solution may work for some and is very quick.
Clearing the Intellij IDEA (Android Studio) .idea directory which
contains configuration information worked for me:
Exit Android Studio
Navigate to the project you are trying to debug
Backup any files inside .idea that you modified (if your project checks any of these into VCS)
Delete .idea directory
Open the project in Android Studio
This problem occurs when you open more than one instance of Android studio, so you need to attach the debugger manually like mentioned above.
You may need to close other instances of Android studio.
I faced this problem in android studio 3.0. Just restarted device solved.
Both of my dev machines have JDK 8 installed, the debugging function is restored once JDK 7.0.71 was installed and JAVA_HOME environmental variable was set to point to the new JDK.
Guess there's some compatibility issue between Android Studio + ADB + JDK8 (Eclipse + ADB + JDK8 works fine).
I tried the top three rated answers but failed. After rebooting my mobile, the problem is solved. No more long "Waiting for Debugger".
I just managed this problem, after several days of trying the above solutions.
So I closed the emulator, run AVD manager and in device menu choose - "wipe data"
So in next run I was free from stucked debugger.
When the Device displays the message go to Run->Attach debbuger, then select a debbuger. it'll start the activity.
This fixed it for me. Android Studio -> File -> Invalidate Caches & Restart...
I had the same problem. Restart my android phone device worked for me.
This solution works for me:
turning off the USB debugging from my device settings , and then turning it on again.
its Much quicker and easier than restart the device.
How it worked for me.
1 Start Android Device Monitor from Tools -> Android -> Android Device Monitor
2 Click on Stop for the process you are facing the issue from list of devices.
For me, the issue was: The Regional Format of Windows was ARABIC.
I simply changed the regional format to English (United States) and the error has fixed.
Steps to fix:
Go to Start -> type Region -> click on Region to open Region window -> from the Format dropdown, select English (United Stated) -> Click OK.
Restart Android Studio.
As for my case, running Android Studio Canary (preview release) along with the stable version was the problem. Running multiple instances of the same Android Studio flavor was OK, but mixing them often resulted in "Waiting For Debugger".
Most of the times this is caused because of the overload of resources and threads over the emulator. Or even for the lock of objects that GC couldn't set free: http://developer.android.com/intl/pt-br/tools/debugging/index.html
Usually, a single restart of it will solve the issue, but sometimes it asks for the IDE restart, so be sure to make both tests.
Another good test is trying to start the app in "Start mode" and then try the debug mode again...
P.S: Don't forget to kill each debug process in the IDE after each test. This will prevent your env to be more overloaded.
Android studio 3.0 and Above
Disable the instant Run
This also happens to me from time to time. Problem is that your app / device is configured to wait for debugger. In this case it is waiting for debugger before continuing execution of.
Option 1:
Attach debugger or run in debug mode. You can do this in Android Studio. Buttons to attach debugger and run in debug mode are located next to normal run mode (Bug and Bug with arrow).
Option 2:
Disable Wait for debugger. You can do this is developer settings. This option needs to be disabled in:
Root of Developer Options
Developer options -> Select debug app ->
-> Wait for debugger
This was tested on Android emulator in android studio. Other phones might have this setting different. If you can not find app's settings in debug, reinstalling app might work too.
I had the same problem. Restart my android device and closed the adb.exe process. With that I could solve the problem
Well, I guess there is a plethora of circumstances that can trigger this issue. I'm using IntelliJ Idea instead, but it's mostly the same than Android Studio. My solution for this problem:
Fastest way:
Right click on the class file that contains the main activity of your
project, and then on "Debug 'WhateverActivity'". This will create a
new run configuration that should debug fine.
Other solution, without creating a new run configuration:
Open Run/Debug configurations and within "Android app" pick the configuration you're using to debug your app.
Locate "Launch Options/Launch" there and set it to "Specified Activity" instead of "Default Activity".
In the "Launch" field just below the aforementioned option, click on the three ellipsis (three dots) button and select your main
activity.
At least it worked for me. I hope it works for others too.
Got it fixed according this solution: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-166153
I opened <project dir>/.idea/workspace.xml replaced all the
<option name="DEBUGGER_TYPE" value="Auto" /> occurrences to
<option name="DEBUGGER_TYPE" value="Java" />
and restarted Android Studio
Open Command prompt and go to android sdk>platform-tools> adb kill-server
press enter
and again adb start-server
press enter
Non of this solutions worked for me.
In my case was that I was debugging an App from Intellij IDEA and at the same time with Android Studio. By just closing the Intellij IDEA and removing the app I was debugging just fixed my problem.
Make sure that your Active Build Variant is debug.
If you also want to make your release variant APK debuggable then make a simple change in app level build.gradle -
buildTypes {
release {
debuggable true
/*Your rest code*/
}
}
For me the problem was having IntelliJ open at the same time as Android Studio. I was using IntelliJ for back-end development at the same time as Android Studio for app development. Even though I was not doing any mobile device work with IntelliJ, it broke debugging in Android Studio.
Solution: Shutdown IntelliJ when debugging with Android Studio.
Restarting everything didn't work for me. What DID work was waiting for a few minutes while Android Studio unclogged itself. This was the first time I ran the debugger; after that, Android Studio fired up the debugger quickly.

Debugging android app does not install on emulator or device

I was having an issue with debugging my app with eclipse. When I go to debug on either a real device or on an emulator the process goes fine except on the console it gets stuck saying "app_name.apk installing....". There are no error messages and I even tried it with the standard hello world app. I've never had this issue before with my previous app, however I have updated the SDK since then. I have debuggable = true, and do have the block in the manifest which is a common problem. I also set up the real device for unknown sources and debugging. I didn't know if anybody else had this problem and fixed it ? Maybe its an issue the ADB?
Finally got it to work, uninstalled eclipse and the SDK and got the newest version from google. Previously eclipse wouldn't let me update the ADB and I'm assuming that's the root of the error. Works fine now and the new version of eclipse looks super classy.
