Answer 1

I have solved the issue by enabling Use libusb backend. Navigate to Android Studio -> Preferences -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Debugger -> then check Use libusb backend

Added this for future reference

You have to plant a timber debug tree by initializing Timber in the Application Class:

class MyApplication : Application() {
    
    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()
    
        if(BuildConfig.DEBUG){
            Timber.plant(Timber.DebugTree())
        }
    }
}

Add the MyApplication class to the AndroidManifest.xml like below:

<application
    android:name=".MyApplication">

    ...

</application>

Answer 3

Make sure you're using your app module's BuildConfig

if (com.my.app.BuildConfig.DEBUG) {
    Timber.plant(Timber.DebugTree())
}

I was using the wrong one

if (org.koin.android.BuildConfig.DEBUG) { // <- NOT MY CONFIG
    Timber.plant(Timber.DebugTree())
}
