I followed the directions here How to test android apps in a real device with Android Studio? to test an app on a real android device, but it explains how to do so in Windows but not a MAC. How can I test an app on a real android device using an Android Studio that's installed on MAC?

Testing on MAC is more easier than Windows because if you have android device which is from well-known company, you already have USB driver installed on MAC.
Follow these steps to test Android device on MAC.
- Open Android Studio
- Connect Android device via USB
- Now you should able to see your device just like in below screenshot
- If not try "Troubleshoot device connection" menu. see screenshot.
- You are now good to go with running your app first time on MAC :)

@LouisaScheinost Have you tried "Troubleshoot device connections"? – Hitesh Chavda Feb 29 '20 at 15:58

After trying Troubleshoot device connection, if you see a message like this:
- Device is waiting for you to grant permission for USB debugging
Go to Settings -> Developer options and Switch off and On again and it should show the message to allow connection.
