Android Studio can't find devices connected via USB

If Android Studio can't find a device connected via USB on macOS even though adb devices lists it, check in Activity Monitor if the running adb is ~/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools/adb (double click on the process and check executable path). Maybe you're running the adb from android-platform-tools. If that's the case, uninstall android-platform-tools (brew uninstall android-platform-tools if you installed with brew).
