OK, still not working, this is some lame ass thing there, it used to work no problem. What has been done?!
I need to deploy to test now

[working for Me ]
So what I did is
What’s android studio sdk manager?
Don’t tell me I have to download Android Studio?
OK I installed android studio but when I change the sdk folder in unity to the install folder I get:
“You are not using the recommended android sdk tools…”
And as is it still is NOT working.
Which folder do you have to put there?
Geez I eventually made it work, I have no idea how…
Also, the UI is completely different than in the dev environment.
I recently had to get Unity Remote for Android working on a couple of computers for a project, so I put together an article after all the trials and tribulations I went through. Hopefully, no one else will have to go through what I did
Here’s my 2020 guide to getting Unity Remote working, for anyone else looking for answers on this topic: https://blog.terresquall.com/2020/05/getting-unity-remote-for-android-to-work-on-windows/
Okay this definitely worked for me. Seems like the internal SDK installed with Unity 2019 version is broken. I strongly suggested downloading SDK and have Unity external tools point to it. Repeat do not use the recommended internal SDK in unity
Hi guys,
I have also spent a couple of hours trying to get Unity remote to work with Unity version 2019.3.14f and I’ve finally got it working using the Android SDK installed via Unity Hub.
These are the things I tried:
TLDR: muck around with the checkbox / path for the recommended Android SDK Tools or have it point to an externally downloaded version of the Android SDK like the other guys have suggested.
Also if things are going well with the Unity remote app the available aspect ratios should get updated for the wider range used across mobile devices. You will want to pick an aspect that matches what you expect to see on your mobile or the screen might look skewed, especially for UI.
Anyhow, I hope this saves someone else some time and headache.
Hey UMatthew, thanks for your post. Strangely I found many solutions for resolving Unity Remote 5 connection issues but none of them worked for me. Finally I came up with yours and frankly I tried it without faith but it worked!! Thanks man… I wish Unity would provide more information on making Remote app work. It’s really a great tool but it’s quiet difficult to make it work.
OK I can’t make it work again… seriously, is this even looked into?
Following this:
I’m unable to make Unity Remote 5 work.
For info I had no problem compiling and deploying to the tablet…
This issue is still not solved, unity remote 5 desperatly does NOT show the debugging app.
Tried with a mobile phone, does the same…
been going at this for about 6 hours now and same issue for me.
What is great is i can use the andriod logcat and get a screen capture of my phone without issue. I can see the lag and comms from the phone and unity.
I can build and run from unity and the app auto loads the phone. But for the life of me nothing seems to get the live PLAY test to work…
FYI 2020.1 came out and with it an alternative game windo allowing, apparently, to better see how the application will behave on certain devices.
Unity Remote will stay as bad as it is so I guess it’s our best bet.
Hopefully once the app is tested we won’t get any surprises on deploy.
If more people were like you there’d be no war. You’ve saved my sanity, thank you.
This worked for me thank you!! <3
no fix provided here works, and the funny fact is that unity remote worked two months ago with the same project and device. Just did the same steps that always worked. first connect the device, open unity remote, then open the project, click play. should had worked as it always did in the past. but nope.
building and running the project successfully builds and upload the apk to the device and it automatically opens it.
there is a different version of unity remote maybe unity remote 2020 or something? this is an essential piece of software
I want to add to the chorus - this worked for me!
I was having issues with unity remote for a week now. Finally I got it working , I’ll list all the things I did.
PS - I’m currently using Unity 2020.1.0f1
Also , I found a video which I think covers every point that I mentioned
ok got it working, when using the recommended JDK and ASK path, unity was wrongly using paths from a different version that was not even installed. It didn’t wanted for me to manually edit the paths either. I finally fix it by opening the 2020 version of the editor and manually setting it up to 2020 paths. then finally it let me fix manually the 2019 version
I don’t know what happened but probably the 2020 messed up some setting for the versions already installed.
go figure
