Realtime Debugging for Unity Android Apps - ADB LogCat Tutorial

In this video I will show you how to setup and use realtime debugging using ADB LogCat to debug your Android apps that are#MadeWithUnity

Please let me know if you have any questions! Enjoy!

Enable USB Debugging on your Android Phone:
1. Open the Settings App on your phone and go to "About Phone"
2. Scroll to the bottom and tap on "Build Number" a few times until it says "Developer options enabled."
3. Go to the developer option in the settings app - typically under System - Advanced
4. Scroll to USB Debugging and turn the switch to "ON"

Add Android Platform Tools to your system path:
2. Click in the Address Bar in the top of your file explorer and copy the file path using Ctrl + C. Your path should look something like this: D:\Android\SDK\platform-tools
3. Open Control Panel then go to "System"
4. In the left panel of the System screen click on "Advanced System Settings"
5. In the window that pops up, click on "Environment Variables..."
6. Double click on the "Path" variable
7. Click "New" then paste the file path into the bottom of the list.
8. Press "OK" to close all windows and confirm changes.

I began watching this channel out of curiosity, for the ECS videos. Now I am consulting this video for a job-related matter. I wanted to say that this is a great project. Thank you, Turbo, sir.

ehi man! thanks for the vid. I was completely lost on an error before watching this vid.
The error occured only in the android build so I focused to static class which seemed to be the cause.
turned up it was just a deserializzation exception.... CRAZY. lost 2 days understanding deep Singleton & static classes X'D

thanks ~ italian dev

How will this Realtime debugging using ADB LogCat to debug your Android apps help me understand why my game crashes and goes back to the regular phone home screen?
Will it tell me the problem?
