Prior to this i would run android apps in debug mode using debug icon in android studio or by pressing Shift+F9. Doing this in my android studio after some updates lead to installation of debug version (not running it). Even if no emulator or no device are connected and online, it does not prompt for target device selection window (to select something or run new emulator).
I want to know which command should be used to install debug version, run it and attach debugger to application for debugging?
Currently I need to do this steps: installDebug, then run app manually inside device and then attach debugger to it.
My current configuration of software is as below:
distributionUrlis set to https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.10.3-all.zip inside gradle-wrapper.properties.Here is list of available gradle tasks:
