I usually tend to do my Unity or Unreal development on my Mac and in the past I was able to connect my Quest 1 to the mac for proper development and pushing builds to it. With the quest 2 I'm unable to get adb to work no matter what I try. I have done all the settings as far as developer mode, I have a developer account etc, however when I plug in the quest 2 I never see the enable usb debugging option like I do in windows.
Things I have tried.
uninstalled and reinstalled adb (android platform tools)
installed lsusb (great command line tool to see connected usb devices). The quest 2 does show up
disabled developer mode , rebooted the quest 2, enabled developer mode rebooted the quest 2.
tried a different cable
Things that work
android file transfer tool allowed me to move files between the device
