My ADB install does not work, it does not start or show any info. I keep getting the same error message over and over again: 

18:14   Unable to run 'adb': null

18:14   '/Users/jorandob/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools/adb start-server' failed -- run manually if necessary

If I try to start ADB manually it just doesn't show anything.

I tried so far:

  • Restart server
  • Reinstall ADB
  • Reinstall Android Studio

I'm on mac os X 10.11.6 and not using any special emulator. If its helpful information, I'm using ionic.

Terminal ADB:

Jorans-iMac:~ jorandob$ adb version Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.36 Revision 0e9850346394-android

    Have you added the path to the "adb" executable to your ~/.bash_profile $PATH variable? – DimitrisCBR Mar 09 '17 at 17:44
  • @Cbr if i run adb version this is the response Jorans-iMac:~ jorandob$ adb version Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.36 Revision 0e9850346394-android So i think its linked properly – Joran Dob Mar 10 '17 at 20:06

I finally resolved my issue, it occurs if you run java and ADB at the same time.

to fix it stop all java processes in the activity monitor.
