Android testing - How to install adb on Windows / Mac



Windows

Download & Install Android SDK https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#Other

Configure: https://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/index.html?pkg=tools

Mac

Tested on Mac OS X 10.10.3 (Yosemite).
Your device should be turned on and connected to Mac via USB. 

1. Install adb & fastboot
- Download: https://code.google.com/p/adb-fastboot-install/downloads/list
- Unpack
- Run ADB-Install-Mac.sh (in terminal)

2. Open System Profiler (About This Mac -> System Report) and find the device on USB. View it's details to find the Vendor (EPIC) ID (e.g. 0x0f63).

3. Edit ~/.android/adb_usb.ini to include that Vendor ID. If the file doesn't exist, create it with that line only.

4. (Re)start ADB

adb kill-server
adb start-server

5. Run `adb devices`, you should see something like this:

List of devices attached
4S9LGUBY4PRSIZTO device

If there is no device in output, try to unplug/plugin your device.

6. Now you can run `adb shell`
