Enable ADB in android tv when usb debugging option not present in dev options

by updeshxp

Hi,

the device manufactures have hidden the usb debugging option and I'm unable to enable usb debugging to use adb.Also, we are not able to install apks directly. it is also disabled.

do we have any hidden adb ports from which we can connect to?

The device manufacturer is Amlogic

Have you enabled developer options? Have you tried to connect via adb?

You probably need to include more data for a bit of context.

You mentioned the manufacturer. What’s the model number? Have you attempted to talk to them about using it as a developer? Sometimes they have dev outreach that can help you get setup.

Finally, if all you’re trying to do is test an apk. You can always download a file browser, mount a network share point, then install the apk from your FS that way. If your goal is actual debugging and development from that specific device, rather than simple product validation you might want to look at a new device entirely. Something that’s either dev friendly; or something that was specifically designed for dev testing.
