Can't connect Unity Remote 5 to unity (version 2018.2.3f1)

Question

I'm trying to connect my Android phone, Huawei p smart, (operating system is Oreo 8.0) to my MacBook Pro. I'm using Unity 2018.2.3f1. I have been to Edit > Project Settings > Editor and setting the device to Any Android Device. When I press play, nothing happens. I have also been on my phone to the developer's settings and set USB Debugging on. Nothing works. I have been all around the internet searching. Nothing I find seems to work.

Thanks

Due to this link, follow these steps:

• In Unity, leave enabled the option at “Unity Remote Editor Settings> Device> Any Android Device”

• Close Unity.

• Open Unity Remote App on your Android device.

• Connect your device to your computer.

• Open Unity again.

it's working for me too! I hope this helps you :)

Answer 2

Change wiring from mobile to mac.

• Did not work: Direct connection from USB-C to USB-C
• Did work: Using a USB-C to USB-A adapter inbetween. (Female USB-A part must be on the computer side)

In my case (MacBook pro to Xiaomi Mi A1) it helped.

Explanation: After connecting the mobile to the mac one should see a notification that the usb connection was established (video). This was not the case for me. So I gave it a try and changed the wiring.
