Can't debug on Android
Question
Debug

I'm trying to debug on android 8.0. After starting the debugger, I am prompted to start the app. My phone is connected via USB with USB debugging enabled on the phone. After connecting the phone, I get the prompt to allow the connection. I click "Allow". When the Outsystems debugger starts, it says to launch the application on my device. I launch the application, but debugging never starts. I only see the dialog asking to launch the app. I've tried launching the ap before starting the debugger, but the debugger never recognizes that the app is running. Yes, the application was built in the debug configuration. 

I've read this page:

https://developer.android.com/studio/debug/dev-options#enable


this page:

https://success.outsystems.com/Documentation/11/Developing_an_Application/Troubleshooting_Applications/Debugging_Applications/Troubleshoot_Debugger_Connection_Issues 

and, of course, this page:

https://success.outsystems.com/Documentation/11/Developing_an_Application/Troubleshooting_Applications/Debugging_Applications/Troubleshoot_Debugger_Connection_Issues?utm_source=ost-outsystems%20tools&utm_medium=ost-servicestudio&utm_campaign=ost-docrouter&utm_content=ost-helpid-30133&utm_term=ost-contextualhelp#issues-during-app-detection-by-service-studio 


I read through many of the posts here on this issue, most just repeat what I've read elsewhere.

Sometime ago, i was made aware that a true data cable is required for debugging, so I purchased a data/power cable for the device. 

I'm at a loss as to how I should proceed. Any ideas?

Thanks

I know these are very obvious questions I am asking, but I need to ascertain whether or not you might have missed this (I have overlooked these things many times before with various apps debugging):

* Is the module you are trying to debug the entry module? If not, you need to set the entry module of the debugger.
* Are there any other OutSystems apps running in the background? These can sometimes cause the debugger not to start for the app you are trying to debug.

 Thanks for the reply, but yes this is the entry module I'm trying to debug and no, there are no other Outsystems apps running.
