When you want to build and run the app you developed, you can refer to Android Developer Guide.

But there is one thing that the guide did not explain.


If you want to run the app on the actual Android device (connected to your Mac using a USB cable), you should do the following steps additionally.

Otherwise, the Android studio may not run the app without any error or notification.

Connect an Android device to your Mac using USB cable. 

Set USB preferences as File Transfer.

You can refer to Data Transfer with PC (MTP Connection) to know how to access USB preference setting.
