I wanted to connect my phone to Visual Studio so that I can test apps on my phone. I looked up on a guide on how to do that and came across this useful website https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/android/get-started/installation/set-up-device-for-development.
Mid way through the website, my andriod.bat would just close instantly so I had to find a solution. I came across this youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMJ3WxZ9L5c and resorted to downloading Eclipse. I also couldn’t find the android SDK option so I followed this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47yY1uCTU0M
This took me awhile to download all these programs but in the end I got the app to run on my phone meaning I can continue running apps using my phone.
